Subject: [PATCH 5.10 031/103] net: hso: fix muxed tty registration

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit e8f69b16ee776da88589b5271e3f46020efc8f6c upstream.

If resource allocation and registration fail for a muxed tty device
(e.g. if there are no more minor numbers) the driver should not try to
deregister the never-registered (or already-deregistered) tty.

Fix up the error handling to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer when
attempting to remove the character device.

Fixes: 72dc1c096c70 ("HSO: add option hso driver")
