This patch fixes a userspace regression introduced by the commit 29cd718b. If the rfcomm device was created with the flag RFCOMM_RELEASE_ONHUP the user space expects that the tty_port is released as soon as the last process closes the tty. The current code attempts to release the port in the function rfcomm_dev_state_change(). However it won't get a reference to the relevant tty to send a HUP: at that point the tty is already destroyed and therefore NULL. This patch fixes the regression by taking over the tty refcount in the tty install method(). This way the tty_port is automatically released as soon as the tty is destroyed. As a consequence the check for RFCOMM_RELEASE_ONHUP flag in the hangup() method is now redundant. Instead we have to be careful with the reference counting in the rfcomm_release_dev() function.
