Jaeyoung Chung and Eulgyu Kim reported a slab-use-after-free read
in slip_receive_buf() when racing against tty hangup.
tty_ldisc_hangup() calls ld->ops->hangup() while holding only
a read lock on tty->ldisc_sem (via tty_ldisc_ref()).
Because slip_hangup() simply called slip_close(), it ran concurrently
with reader functions such as slip_receive_buf().
slip_close() unregisters and frees the net device and its private
struct slip, causing concurrent reader threads in slip_receive_buf()
to dereference freed memory.
Line discipline close() is already guaranteed to be called under
the write lock of tty->ldisc_sem during hangup processing
(in tty_ldisc_reinit() or tty_ldisc_kill()).
Remove slip_hangup() so teardown is serialized cleanly by slip_close().
