[PATCH] tty/n_gsm.c: fix a memory leak in gsmld_open

From: xinhui.pan
Date: Mon Jul 28 2014 - 04:16:15 EST


If gsmld_attach_gsm fails, the gsm is not used anymore.
tty core will not call gsmld_close to do the cleanup work.
tty core just restore to the tty old ldisc.
That always causes memory leak.
