USB: serial: drop obsolete open-race workaround
Commit a65a6f14dc24 ("USB: serial: fix race between probe and open")
fixed a race between probe and open, which could lead to crashes when a
not yet fully initialised port was being opened.
This race was later incidentally closed by commit 7e73eca6a7b2 ("TTY:
move cdev_add to tty_register_device") which moved character-device
registration from tty_register_driver to tty_register_device, which
isn't called until the port has been fully set up.
Remove the now redundant workaround which had the negative side effect
of not allowing a port to be opened immediately after user space had
been notified of a new tty device.
