TTY: hvc, fix TTY refcounting

Browse Source 
A -next commit "TTY: HVC, use tty from tty_port" switched the driver
to use tty_port helper for tty refcounting. But it omitted to remove
manual tty refcounting from open, close and hangup. So now we are
getting random crashes caused by use-after-free:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xc0000003f9d550

Fix that by complete removal of tty_kref_get/put in open/close/hangup
paths.
