nmdm(4) does not call .l_close

Dear All,

it seems to me that nmdm(4) is not calling .l_close (i.e. does not
close whatever line discipline might be installed onto /dev/nmdmXX).
the problem is easy to reproduce - just open /dev/nmdm0A and install,
say, ng_tty(4) line discipline onto it. after that, simply close the
/dev/nmdm0A. in theory, the ng_tty(4) node should disappear when
device is closed, but it does not.

the following patch fixes things for me

please review and let me know if this is ok to commit. please ignore
tabs-to-spaces conversion. its just cut-and-paste from the screen.

thanks,

p.s. i also think ng_tty(4) should use NG_NODE_REVIVE() is its not dying.
