Subject: [PATCH 18/24] mxser: remove tty_port_tty_get from
	mxser_check_modem_status

From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@...il.com>

mxser_check_modem_status is called with tty parameter, so the
reference should be increased by callers already -- for ioctl
syscall it is held whole time gap since open to close, for
interrupt, the reference count is increased in the irq handler.

There is no tty_kref_put in that function, so this also fixes
a refcounting bug.
