[email protected] (Michał Mirosław) [1] reported a
problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated reset while the IDE
layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash, and provided a
rough fix.
This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset
state and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress.
Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the
ioctl in question anyway.
[1] This is what bugzilla.kernel.org calls him anyway
