[PATCH] usb-serial: fix oti6858.c segfault in termios handling

The oti6858 usb serial driver should use 
kernel_termios_to_user_termios/
user_termios_to_kernel_termios to avoid segfaults because the kernel
uses a structure differing from that of user space with a different 
size.

I'm don't know the least thing about the type casting (it is lifted
from kobil_sct.c), but I do get better success with the patch...
