tty: fix memleak in alloc_pid
There is memleak in alloc_pid:
------------------------------
unreferenced object 0xd3453a80 (size 64):
comm "adbd", pid 1730, jiffies 66363 (age 6586.950s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

the leak is due to unreleased pid->count, which execute in function:
get_pid()(pid->count++) and put_pid()(pid->count--).
The race condition as following:
task[dumpsys] task[adbd]
in disassociate_ctty() in tty_signal_session_leader()
----------------------- -------------------------
tty = get_current_tty();
// tty is not NULL
...
spin_lock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock);
put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp);
current->signal->tty_old_pgrp = NULL;
spin_unlock_irq(¤t->sighand->siglock);
spin_lock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
...
p->signal->tty = NULL;
...
spin_unlock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
tty = get_current_tty();
// tty NULL, goto else branch by accident.
if (tty) {
...
put_pid(tty_session);
put_pid(tty_pgrp);
...
} else {
print msg
}
in task[dumpsys], in disassociate_ctty(), tty is set NULL by task[adbd],
tty_signal_session_leader(), then it goto else branch and lack of
put_pid(), cause memleak.
move spin_unlock(sighand->siglock) after get_current_tty() can avoid
the race and fix the memleak.
