Subject: usb-serial: fix oti6858.c segfault in termios handling
From: Thomas Viehmann <tv@beamnet.de>

The oti6858 usb serial driver should use kernel_termios_to_user_termios/
user_termios_to_kernel_termios to avoid segfaults because the kernel uses a
structure differing from that of user space with a different size.
