I have the same problem with cdc-acm (I'm using a Samsung SGH-U900): when I
unplug it from the USB port during a PPP connection, the ppp daemon gets the
hangup correctly (and closes the device), but the struct acm corresponding to
the device disconnected is not freed. Hence reconnecting the device results in
creation of /dev/ttyACM(x+1). The same happens when the system is hibernated
during a PPP connection.

This memory leak is due to the fact that when the tty is hung up,
tty_port_close_start() returns always zero, and acm_tty_close() never reaches
the point where acm_tty_unregister() is called.

Here is a fix for this.
