TTY: hvc_console, fix port reference count going to zero prematurely Commit bdb498c20040 "TTY: hvc_console, add tty install" took the port refcounting out of hvc_open()/hvc_close(), but failed to remove the kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls in hvc_hangup() that were there to remove the extra references that hvc_open() had taken. The result was that doing a vhangup() when the current terminal was a hvc_console, then closing the current terminal, would end up calling destroy_hvc_struct() and making the port disappear entirely. This meant that Fedora 17 systems would boot up but then not display the login prompt on the console, and attempts to open /dev/hvc0 would give a "No such device" error. This fixes it by removing the extra kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls.
