commit e8f69b16ee776da88589b5271e3f46020efc8f6c upstream.
If resource allocation and registration fail for a muxed tty device (e.g. if there are no more minor numbers) the driver should not try to deregister the never-registered (or already-deregistered) tty.
Fix up the error handling to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer when attempting to remove the character device.
