Subject: pty: cancel pty slave port buf's work in tty_release
From: Sahara <keun-o.park@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2b022ab7542df60021ab57854b3faaaf42552eaf ]
In case that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is on and pty is used, races between
release_one_tty and flush_to_ldisc work threads may happen and lead
to use-after-free condition on tty->link->port. Because SLUB_DEBUG
is turned on, freed tty->link->port is filled with POISON_FREE value.
So far without SLUB_DEBUG, port was filled with zero and flush_to_ldisc
could return without a problem by checking if tty is NULL.
