hso: fix NULL-deref on disconnect regression Commit 8a12f8836145 (“net:
hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration”) fixed the racy
minor allocation reported by syzbot, but introduced an unconditional
NULL-pointer dereference on every disconnect instead. Specifically, the
serial device table must no longer be accessed after the minor has been
released by hso_serial_tty_unregister().
