TTY: drop driver reference in tty_open fail path
When tty_driver_lookup_tty fails in tty_open, we forget to drop a reference to the tty driver. This was added by commit 4a2b5fddd5 (Move tty lookup/reopen to caller). Fix that by adding tty_driver_kref_put to the fail path. I will refactor the code later. This is for the ease of backporting to stable.
