=====================================================================

commit 7f90cfc505d613f4faf096e0d84ffe99208057d9 upstream.

When a concrete ldisc open fails in tty_ldisc_open, we forget to clear
TTY_LDISC_OPEN. This causes a false warning on the next ldisc open:
WARNING: at drivers/char/tty_ldisc.c:445 tty_ldisc_open+0x26/0x38()
Hardware name: System Product Name
Modules linked in: ...
Pid: 5251, comm: a.out Tainted: G W 2.6.32-5-686 #1
Call Trace:
[<c1030321>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x5e/0x8a
[<c1030357>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0xa/0xc
[<c119311c>] ? tty_ldisc_open+0x26/0x38
[<c11936c5>] ? tty_set_ldisc+0x218/0x304
...

So clear the bit when failing...

Introduced in c65c9bc3efa (tty: rewrite the ldisc locking) back in
2.6.31-rc1.
