tty: Fix ldisc leak in failed tty_init_dev()
release_tty() leaks the ldisc instance when called directly (rather than when releasing the file descriptor from tty_release()). Since tty_ldisc_release() clears tty->ldisc, releasing the ldisc instance at tty teardown if tty->ldisc is non-null is not in danger of double-releasing the ldisc. Remove deinitialize_tty_struct() now that free_tty_struct() always performs the tty_ldisc_deinit().
