If tty_register_driver() fails, it drops the reference, but fails to set
the global dbc_tty_driver to NULL, causing the unregister to be called
again when module exits.
On module unload dbc_tty_exit() only gates its cleanup on the driver
pointer being non-NULL, so it operates on the already-freed driver:
module_init(xhci_hcd_init)
xhci_hcd_init()
xhci_dbc_init() [return value ignored]
dbc_tty_init()
tty_register_driver() fails
tty_driver_kref_put() -> driver freed
(dbc_tty_driver left dangling)
...
module_exit(xhci_hcd_fini)
xhci_hcd_fini()
xhci_dbc_exit()
dbc_tty_exit()
if (dbc_tty_driver) -> true (dangling)
tty_unregister_driver() -> use-after-free

Make sure to set dbc_tty_driver to NULL to match the check in
dbc_tty_exit(). For that, make detached error handling path common to the
other branch in the same function.

idr_destroy() is already called on error paths in dbc_tty_init(). Do not
call it again on exit. For symmetry with the init side, also use
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to gate the exit steps.
