There is a circular dependency between dev and dlc: dev takes a reference to the dlc in rfcomm_create_dev. The dlc->tx_queue has a list of skbs with references to dev itself. That list is purged only when the dlc is destructed, but that cannot happen because dev acquired a reference to it and won't release it until it's destructed. Since we now purge the skbs in the cleanup method we can remove the call to rfcomm_tty_flush_buffer in rfcomm_tty_hangup.
