With commit 0998d0631001288a5974afc0b2a5f568bcdecb4d, driver_data is
cleared after driver is unbound.
So from now on, it's not suitable to maintain serial port private data
by driver core, because some usb serial drivers,
such as usb_wwan, need retrieve port private data(in disconnect() and
release() callbacks ) even after the driver is unbound.
This will cause NULL pointer reference oops.
Let usb_serial_port maintain port private data to fix the issue.
