[ Upstream commit 58af3d3d54e87bfc1f936e16c04ade3369d34011 ]
Syzbot reported memory leak in tty_init_dev().
The problem was in unputted tty in ldisc_open()
static int ldisc_open(struct tty_struct *tty)
{
...
ser->tty = tty_kref_get(tty);
...
result = register_netdevice(dev);
if (result) {
rtnl_unlock();
free_netdev(dev);
return -ENODEV;
}
...
}
Ser pointer is netdev private_data, so after free_netdev()
this pointer goes away with unputted tty reference. So, fix
it by adding tty_kref_put() before freeing netdev.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
