Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] staging: dgnc: Remove some redundant functions

dgnc_tty_preinit() and dgnc_tty_post_uninit() functions are used to
allocate and free "dgnc_TmpWriteBuf" and this "dgnc_TmpWriteBuf" is
not really getting used. Hence remove these redundant functions.

Also remove dgnc_TmpWriteBuf variable as it is not used anymore.
