Subject: [PATCH 5/6] TTY: plug in deinitialize_tty_struct

Used the newly introduced deinitialize_tty_struct to properly shut
down ldisc.

It is intended to fix the Julian's reported problem. He reports that
kmemleak checker warns about memory leak:
unreferenced object 0xc0e19860 (size 8):
comm cat, pid 1226, jiffies 4294919464 (age 287.476s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
44 de 2d c1 01 00 00 00 D.-.....
backtrace:
[<c1065a74>] create_object+0x109/0x1ad
[<c1063d2b>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x60/0x68
