H A Dtty_port.cdiff 1d9e689c934bd5ecb0f273c6c65e0655c5cfee5f Thu Jul 25 00:26:16 CDT 2013 Gianluca Anzolin <gianluca@sottospazio.it> tty_port: Fix refcounting leak in tty_port_tty_hangup()

The function tty_port_tty_hangup() could leak a reference to the tty_struct:

struct tty_struct *tty = tty_port_tty_get(port);

if (tty && (!check_clocal || !C_CLOCAL(tty))) {
tty_hangup(tty);
tty_kref_put(tty);
}

If tty != NULL and the second condition is false we never call tty_kref_put and
the reference is leaked.

Fix by always calling tty_kref_put() which accepts a NULL argument.

The patch fixes a regression introduced by commit aa27a094.
