tty depends on tty_port until tty_release() was called. Make sure a BUG
will be hit, if tty_port will be destroyed before tty.

Currently things are changing fast in the tty subsystem, therefor I don't
know if the patch should be applied to kernel 3.10 too because the
reference to tty_port in tty_ldisc_halt() is gone in 3.10-rc1.
So it might be a patch only for the stable kernels since commit
ecbbfd4 (kernels 3.8 and 3.9).
