[ 028/150] pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: George Spelvin <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 03a7ffe4e542310838bac70ef85acc17536b6d7c upstream.

Now that N_TTY uses tty->disc_data for its private data,
'subclass' ldiscs cannot use ->disc_data for their own private data.
(This is a regression is v3.8-rc1)

Use pps_lookup_dev to associate the tty with the pps source instead.

This fixes a crashing regression in 3.8-rc1.
