commit 25054b232681c286fca9c678854f56494d1352cc upstream.
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.
