usb-serial: acquire references when a new tty is installed



This patch (as1287) makes serial_install() be reponsible for acquiring
references to the usb_serial structure and the driver module when a
tty is first used.  This is more sensible than having serial_open() do
it, because a tty can be opened many times whereas it is installed
only once, when it is created.  (Not to mention that these actions are
reversed when the tty is released, not when it is closed.)  Finally,
it is at install time that the TTY core takes its own reference to the
usb_serial module, so it is only fitting that we should act the same
way in regard to the lower-level serial driver.
