serial: fix NULL pointer dereference
If kzalloc() or alloc_tty_driver() fails, we call: put_tty_driver(normal = NULL). Then: put_tty_driver -> tty_driver_kref_put -> kref_put(&NULL->kref, ...) Signed-off-by: André Goddard Rosa <andre.goddard@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
