[ upstream commit 38237fd2be9421c104f84cc35665097bdce89013 ]

tty_port_tty_get may return without any problems NULL. Handle this
case and do not oops in usb_wwan_indat_callback by dereferencing it.

The oops:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x000000d8
Faulting instruction address: 0xc0175b3c
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
PowerPC 40x Platform
