A pending open is not a user of the tty as far as the rest of the stack
is concerned. I also don't see why clearing port->tty is causing this
crash because nothing on that path should ever be going via port->tty and
it isn't safe to do so.

But still breaks on hangup where we can't do that.

Where is port->tty getting misused to cause the crash, that is the bit
I'm missing somewhere.
