The ttyname buffer for the ledtrig_tty_data struct is allocated in the
sysfs ttyname_store() function. This buffer must be released on trigger
deactivation. This was missing and is thus a memory leak.

While we are at it, the tty handler in the ledtrig_tty_data struct should
also be returned in case of the trigger deactivation call.

I already provided that to v1, but my reply and the v2 crossed, so I'm
forwarding my tag to this v2:
