[PATCH 01/41] TTY: pty, stop passing NULL to free_tty_struct

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Aug 07 2012 - 15:57:06 EST


In case alloc_tty_struct fails in pty_common_install, we pass NULL to
free_tty_struct. This is invalid as the function is not ready to cope
with that. And even if it was, it is not nice to do that anyway.
