Subject: [PATCH] leds: ledtrig-tty: free allocated ttyname buffer on deactivate

The ttyname buffer for the ledtrig_tty_data struct is allocated in the
sysfs ttyname_store() function. This buffer must be released on trigger
deactivation. This was missing and is thus a memory leak.

While we are at it, the tty handler in the ledtrig_tty_data struct should
also be returned in case of the trigger deactivation call.

Fixes: fd4a641ac88f ("leds: trigger: implement a tty trigger")
