Subject: [PATCH 67/80] pty: Fix allocation failure double free

From: Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com>

The updating and moving around of the pty code added a bug where both the
helper and caller free the main tty struct (the pty driver must free the
o_tty pair itself however).

Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com>
