Jason Wessel 568d422e9c USB: usb_serial: only allow sysrq on a console port
The only time a sysrq should get processed is if the attached device
is a console.  This is intended to protect sysrq execution on a host
connected with a terminal program.

Here is the problem scenario:

host A <-- rs232 link --> host B

Host A is using mincom and a usb pl2303 device to connect to host b
which is a linux system with a usb pl2303 device acting as the serial
console.  When host B is rebooted the pl2303 emits random junk
characters on reset.  These character sequences contain serial break
signals most of the time and when translated to a sysrq have caused
host A to get random processes killed, reboots or power down.

It is true that in this setup with this patch host B might still have
the same problem as host A if you reboot host A.  In most cases host A
is a development host which seldom gets rebooted, and you could turn
off sysrq temporarily on host B if you need to reboot host A.
