Subject: [PATCH 67/79] tty: USB: serial/mct_u232, fix tty refcnt

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

Stanse found a tty refcnt leak in read_int_callback. In fact
it's handled wrong altogether. tty_port_tty_get can return NULL
and it's not checked in that manner.

Fix that by checking the tty_port_tty_get retval and put tty kref
properly.
