Previous version of the patch did not protect against no alias, followed
by alias.

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sonymobile.com>

This patch is intended to show roughly what an implementation of an all or
nothing policy for using serialN aliases would look like. It is intended
simply to help determine whether this policy should be used.

Combines Stephen's first patch, Stephen's fix patch (to make the serialN
alias optional), plus makes use of the serialN alias all or nothing (either
all ports have an alias or none do).

This is not a correct implementation because the atomic_read(&msm_uart_next_id)
does not protect against concurrency; instead a lock should be used.

Not tested, not even compiled.
