TTY: introduce deinit helpers for proper ldisc shutdown
Introduce deinitialize_tty_struct which should be called after
initialize_tty_struct and before successfull tty_ldisc_setup.
It calls tty_ldisc_deinit which is opposite of tty_ldisc_init. It only
puts a reference to ldisc and assigns NULL to tty->ldisc.
It will be used to shut down ldisc when tty_release cannot be called
yet.
