    net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration · 8a12f883
    Anirudh Rayabharam authored
    Multiple ttys try to claim the same the minor number causing a double
    unregistration of the same device. The first unregistration succeeds
    but the next one results in a null-ptr-deref.
    
    The get_free_serial_index() function returns an available minor number
    but doesn't assign it immediately. The assignment is done by the caller
    later. But before this assignment, calls to get_free_serial_index()
    would return the same minor number.
    
    Fix this by modifying get_free_serial_index to assign the minor number
    immediately after one is found to be and rename it to obtain_minor()
    to better reflect what it does. Similary, rename set_serial_by_index()
    to release_minor() and modify it to free up the minor number of the
    given hso_serial. Every obtain_minor() should have corresponding
    release_minor() call.
