Subject: [PATCH net] net: hso: fix muxed tty registration

From: Johan Hovold <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2021 12:12:04 +0200

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.

Fixes: 72dc1c096c70 ("HSO: add option hso driver")
