The ttyname buffer for the ledtrig_tty_data struct is allocated in the sysfs ttyname_store() function. This buffer must be released on trigger deactivation. This was missing and is thus a memory leak. While we are at it, the tty handler in the ledtrig_tty_data struct should also be returned in case of the trigger deactivation call.
