Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: add error handling for try_module_get
Date:   Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:50:46 +0800
Message-Id: <1528779046-42341-1-git-send-email-jiazhouyang09@gmail.com>
To:     unlisted-recipients:; (no To-header on input)
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

When try_module_get fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.

This patch adds error-handling code after calling try_module_get.
