Subject: [PATCH 1/6] TTY: unify tty_init_dev fail path handling

Change it so that we call the deinit functions at one place at the end
of the function (by gotos). And while at it use some sane label names.

This is a preparation for the deinitialization of tty in the next
patch.

This is not tested yet, I'm building a kernel to test it a bit, but it
will take some time. If you could too to check if your problem
dissapears, it would be great.

P.S. the drivers/char/tty_<TAB><TAB> habit sucks :).
