USB: serial: don't call release without attach

This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core.
If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a
serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach
method.  This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an
invalid memory access.

The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has
been called.
