TTY: hvc_console, fix port reference count going to zero prematurely
Commit bdb498c20040 "TTY: hvc_console, add tty install" took the port
refcounting out of hvc_open()/hvc_close(), but failed to remove the
kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls in hvc_hangup() that were there to
remove the extra references that hvc_open() had taken.
The result was that doing a vhangup() when the current terminal was
a hvc_console, then closing the current terminal, would end up calling
destroy_hvc_struct() and making the port disappear entirely. This
meant that Fedora 17 systems would boot up but then not display the
login prompt on the console, and attempts to open /dev/hvc0 would
give a "No such device" error.
This fixes it by removing the extra kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls.
