TTY: ttyprintk, unregister tty driver on failure 

When the tty_printk driver fails to create a node in sysfs, the system
crashes. It is because the driver registers a tty driver and frees it
without deregistering it first. The fix is easy: add a call to
tty_unregister_driver to the fail path.

This is very unlikely to happen in usual environment => no need for
stable.

The crash occurs at some place where we iterate over tty drivers
first. It may look like this:
