CVE-2022-48870

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tty: fix possible null-ptr-defer in spkttyiorelease

Run the following tests on the qemu platform:

syzkaller:~# modprobe speakup_audptr input: Speakup as /devices/virtual/input/input4 initialized device: /dev/synth, node (MAJOR 10, MINOR 125) speakup 3.1.6: initialized synth name on entry is: (null) synth probe

spkttyioinitialiseldisc failed because ttykopen_exclusive returned failed (errno -16), then remove the module, we will get a null-ptr-defer problem, as follow:
