While it's true that tsk != current here, everything relevant to tty
in task_struct is the same because the nascent task is not even half-done.
So tsk->sighand == current->sighand, tsk->signal == current->signal etc.

If you're uncomfortable with pass-through execution like that, then the
simple solution is:


	struct tty_struct *tty = NULL;

	/* tsk != current when copy_process() failed */
	if (tsk == current)
		tty = get_current_tty();


because tty_kref_put(tty) accepts NULL tty and (obviously) so does
tty_name(tty).
