Subject: [34-longterm 054/209] tty_ldisc: Fix BUG() on hangup

From: Philippe Rétornaz <philippe.retornaz@...l.ch>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 1c95ba1e1de7edffc0c4e275e147f1a9eb1f81ae upstream.

A kernel BUG when bluetooth rfcomm connection drop while the associated
serial port is open is sometime triggered.

It seems that the line discipline can disappear between the
tty_ldisc_put and tty_ldisc_get. This patch fall back to the N_TTY line
discipline if the previous discipline is not available anymore.
