By default, tty_port_init() initializes those parameters to a multiple
of HZ. For instance in line 69 of tty_port.c:
   port->close_delay = (50 * HZ) / 100;
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/tty/tty_port.c#L69

With e.g. CONFIG_HZ = 250 (as this is the case for Ubuntu 18.04
linux-image-4.15.0-37-generic), the default setting for close_delay is
thus 125.

When ioctl(fd, TIOCGSERIAL, &s) is executed, the setting returned in
user space is '12' (125/10). When ioctl(fd, TIOCSSERIAL, &s) is then
executed with the same setting '12', the value is interpreted as '120'
which is different from the current setting and a EPERM error may be
raised by set_serial_info() if !CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c#L919

Fixes: ba2d8ce9db0a6 ("cdc-acm: implement TIOCSSERIAL to avoid blocking close(2)")

Swapping the order of the capability / close settings checks introduced
a rather unexpected regression: when running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN we now
get -EOPNOTSUPP when the close settings are unchanged.

This will break programs / scripts that set these settings to fixed
values.

eg (tested on vanilla 5.4.28) changing the settings works, but
setting the same value again fails:

# setserial -a /dev/ttyACM0
/dev/ttyACM0, Line 0, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0
	Baud_base: 9600, close_delay: 50, divisor: 0
	closing_wait: 3000
	Flags: spd_normal

# setserial /dev/ttyACM0 closing_wait 2000
# setserial /dev/ttyACM0 closing_wait 2000
Cannot set serial info: Operation not supported

From the commit message it's not clear why this behaviour was changed
so I suspect this might be a bug.

so long,

Looks like a bug :(

Care to send a patch to fix this up?
