tty: Make get_current_tty use a kref
We now return a kref covered tty reference. That ensures the tty structure doesn't go away when you have a return from get_current_tty. This is not enough to protect you from most of the resources being freed behind your back - yet. [Updated to include fixes for SELinux problems found by Andrew Morton and an s390 leak found while debugging the former] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
