This fix removes the hci-destruct callback and frees the driver internal private hci_uart object directly on tty-close. We call hci_unregister_dev() here so the hci-core will never call our callbacks again (except destruct). Therefore, we can safely free the driver internal data right away and set the destruct callback to NULL.
