serial: imx: serialize imx_uart_ports[] lifetime

imx_uart_probe() publishes its devm-allocated port in imx_uart_ports[]
before uart_add_one_port() because console setup uses the table. The entry
is not cleared when adding the port fails or after removal, leaving a
dangling pointer.

A sibling probe can register the shared console through that stale entry.
This was reproduced under KASAN on QEMU mcimx6ul-evk by unbinding a
sibling UART, unbinding the console UART and rebinding the sibling.

Keep the entry valid through uart_remove_one_port(), then clear it. Protect
port addition and removal together with their table updates so sibling
operations cannot interleave. Reject an occupied slot rather than
clobbering an active port during a duplicate-line probe.
