[PATCH 00/10] virtio: console: fixes for races with port unplug

[Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>]

Hello,

This series fixes a few races with port unplug and the various file
operations: read(), write(), close() and poll().

There still might be more races lurking, but testing this series looks
good to at least solve the easily-triggerable ones.  I've run the
virtio-serial testsuite and a few open/close/unplug tests, and haven't
seen any badness.

I've marked these patches for stable@ as well.  I went over the list
twice to check if really each one should go to stable, and to me it
looks like all are stable candidates.

Please review and apply if appropriate,
