cherry-pick ms commit 5353ed8deedee9e5acb9f896e9032158f5d998de

Take these one just in case.

https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-67757

An ENOMEM when creating a pair tty in tty_ldisc_setup causes a null
pointer dereference in devpts_kill_index because tty->link->driver_data
is NULL.  The oops was triggered with the pty stressor in stress-ng when
in a low memory condition.

tty_init_dev tries to clean up a tty_ldisc_setup ENOMEM error by calling
release_tty, however, this ultimately tries to clean up the NULL pair'd
tty in pty_unix98_remove, triggering the Oops.

Add check to pty_unix98_remove to only clean up fsi if it is not NULL.

Ooops:
