Use tty kref to release the fake tty in usb_console_setup to avoid use
after free if the underlying serial driver has acquired a reference.
Note that using the tty destructor release_one_tty requires some more
state to be initialised.
Fixes: 4a90f09b20f4 ("tty: usb-serial krefs")

Changes since v1:
- Use tty_kref_put to release tty also in setup()
- Some more state must be initialised to avoid NULL derefs when the tty
destructor is run after the underlying driver puts its reference.
