Subject: [PATCH 5.9 189/252] speakup: Do not let the line discipline be used several times

From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@...-lyon.org>

commit d4122754442799187d5d537a9c039a49a67e57f1 upstream.

Speakup has only one speakup_tty variable to store the tty it is managing. This
makes sense since its codebase currently assumes that there is only one user who
controls the screen reading.

That however means that we have to forbid using the line discipline several
times, otherwise the second closure would try to free a NULL ldisc_data, leading to
