The initialization code of interrupt backoff work might reference NULL
pointer and cause the following crash, if no port was found.
[ 10.017727] CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address

This patch makes sure the initialization code can be reached only if a port
is found.
Fixes: commit 6d7f677a2afa ("serial: 8250: Rate limit serial port rx interrupts
during input overruns")
