[PATCH] coverity: tty_ldisc_ref return null check

Browse source 
We add a check of the return value of tty_ldisc_ref(), which
is checked 7 out of 8 times, e.g.:

149  		ld = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
150  		if (ld != NULL) {
151  			if (ld->set_termios)
152  				(ld->set_termios)(tty, &old_termios);
153  			tty_ldisc_deref(ld);
154  		}

This defect was found automatically by Coverity Prevent, a static analysis
tool.

(akpm: presumably `ld' is never NULL.  Oh well)
