Subject: [PATCH 4.19 09/95] USB: cdc-acm: fix minor-number release

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

commit 91fac0741d4817945c6ee0a17591421e7f5ecb86 upstream.

If the driver runs out of minor numbers it would release minor 0 and
allow another device to claim the minor while still in use.

Fortunately, registering the tty class device of the second device would
fail (with a stack dump) due to the sysfs name collision so no memory is
leaked.

Fixes: cae2bc768d17 ("usb: cdc-acm: Decrement tty port's refcount if probe() fail")
