The 3215 console always has the RAW3215_FIXED flag set, which causes
raw3215_shutdown() not to wait for outstanding I/O requests if an attached
tty gets closed.
The flag however can be simply removed, so we can guarantee that all requests
belonging to the tty have been processed when the tty is closed.
However the tasklet that belongs to the 3215 device may be scheduled even if
there is no tty attached anymore, since we have a race between console and tty
processing.
Thefore unconditional tty_wakekup() in raw3215_wakeup() can cause the following
NULL pointer dereference:

The easiest solution is simply to check if tty is NULL in the tasklet.
If it is NULL nothing is to do (no tty attached), otherwise tty_wakeup()
can be called, since we hold a reference to the tty.
This is not nice... but it is a small patch and it works.
