[PATCH] prevent oops from read of proc entry for tty drivers

From: Stephen Hemminger
Date: Tue Nov 25 2003 - 14:27:01 EST


There are /proc handles there setup by proc_tty_register_driver, but there is
no module ownership association, so anything that reads after module unload
will blow. Fix is to propagate owner of tty_driver to proc entry.
