TTY: pty, fix tty buffers leak
After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this assumption. PTY is one of those, here we just need to use tty_port_put instead of kfree. (Assuming tty_port_destructor does not need port->ops to be set which we change here too.) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
