drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driver
The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong
argument.
The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores
the result in drv. Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error
handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to
stop_thread. At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv
has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it
seems that hvc_driver would be NULL. Thus the current call to
put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed. The goto
stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to
tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free
its argument, so it should be done here. Thus, I have moved the put_tty
label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both
cases.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
