tty: Replace ldisc locking with ldisc_sem
Line discipline locking was performed with a combination of a mutex, a status bit, a count, and a waitqueue -- basically, a rw semaphore. Replace the existing combination with an ld_semaphore. Fixes: 1) the 'reference acquire after ldisc locked' bug 2) the over-complicated halt mechanism 3) lock order wrt. tty_lock() 4) dropping locks while changing ldisc 5) previously unidentified deadlock while locking ldisc from both linked ttys concurrently 6) previously unidentified recursive deadlocks Adds much-needed lockdep diagnostics.
