Subject: [PATCH] pcmcia: synclink_cs: fix potential tty NULL dereference

tty_port_tty_get() can return NULL after port hangup that may happen anytime.
The patch adds checks that tty_port_tty_get() returns nonNULL around places
where tty is actually used.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
