Subject[PATCH] TTY: memory leakage in tty_buffer_find()
From
Date

In tty_buffer_find(), it scans all tty buffers in
free buffer queue, if it finds matched one,
tty->buf.free will point to matched one's next buffer,
so tty buffers that ahead of matched one are removed
from free queue, they will never be used but they
are not released, then memory leak happen.

This patch is to make tty_buffer_find() only extract
the matched tty buffer, and keep others left inside
free queue, so that they could be found and used next
time.
