tty: Fix oops when scanning the polling list for kgdb

Costantino Leandro found a bug in tty_find_polling_driver and provided a
patch that fixed the crash but not the underlying bug. This fixes the
underlying bug where the list walk corrupts the values it is using on a
match but then reuses them if the open fails.
