staging/speakup: Use tty_ldisc_ref() for paste kworker
[ Upstream commit f4f9edcf9b5289ed96113e79fa65a7bf27ecb096 ] As the function documentation for tty_ldisc_ref_wait() notes, it is only callable from a tty file_operations routine; otherwise there is no guarantee the ref won't be NULL. The key difference with the VT's paste_selection() is that is an ioctl, where __speakup_paste_selection() is completely async kworker, kicked off from interrupt context. Fixes: 28a821c30688 ("Staging: speakup: Update __speakup_paste_selection() tty (ab)usage to match vt") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>
