TTY: tty_buffer, warn on leaks

Jiri Slaby · gregkh · commit feacbecb39db · 2018-09-18T16:07:25.000+02:00
When we leak some tty buffer, warn about that. For that we need to
account the memory used also in the tty_buffer_free_all function. On
other locations, the accounting is handled correctly.

Note that we do not account the free list, as that was accounted in
tty_buffer_free before put on the free list.

I have been using this patch for ages, so let's see if anybody else
encounters any issues.
