Yeah, I agree with your analysis here. Nothing bumps the slave inode reference for
which the current tty is a proxy.

So if the current tty is the last released, that means all the master and slave
inodes have been released. So the inode still in tty->driver_data for the slave is
stale.

This logic I'm not following. If the pty master is being released, then the inode
is valid for the release() operation in-progress.

Looking at it now.
