When hanging up one end of a pty pair, there may be waiting
readers/writers on the other end which may not exit, preventing
tty_ldisc_lock_pair() from acquiring the other side's ldisc lock.
Only acquire this side's ldisc lock; although this will no longer
prevent the other side from writing new input, that input will not
be processing until after the ldisc hangup is complete.

tty_ldisc_lock(), tty_ldisc_unlock(), and tty_ldisc_lock_nested()
are low-level aliases for the underlying lock mechanism. Rename
with double underscore to allow for new, higher level functions
with those names.

Now that tty_ldisc_hangup() does not drop the tty lock, it is no
longer possible to observe TTY_HUPPING while holding the tty lock
on another cpu.
Remove TTY_HUPPING bit definition.

Dropping the tty lock to acquire the tty->ldisc_sem allows several
race conditions (such as hangup while changing the ldisc) which requires
extra states and testing. The ldisc_sem->tty_lock lock order has
not been required since tty buffer ownership was moved to tty_port.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

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.

Just as the tty pair must be locked in a stable sequence
(ie, independent of which is consider the 'other' tty), so must
the ldisc pair be locked in a stable sequence as well.

The spin lock in tty_ldisc_try() does nothing wrt synchronizing

tty_ldisc_ref()/tty_ldisc_unref() have usage semantics
equivalent to down_read_trylock()/up_read(). Only
callers of tty_ldisc_put() are performing the additional
operations necessary for proper ldisc teardown, and then only
after ensuring no outstanding 'read lock' remains.
Thus, tty_ldisc_unref() should never be the last reference;
WARN if it is. Conversely, tty_ldisc_put() should never be
destructing if the use count != 1.

The tty core relies on the ldisc layer for synchronizing destruction
of the tty. Instead, the final tty release must wait for any pending tty
work to complete prior to tty destruction.

Waiting for buffer work to complete is not required for safely
performing changes to the line discipline, once the line discipline
is halted. The buffer work routine, flush_to_ldisc(), will be
unable to acquire an ldisc ref and all existing references were
waited until released (so it can't already have one).
Ensure running buffer work which may reference the soon-to-be-gone
tty completes and any buffer work running after this point retrieves
a NULL tty.
Also, ensure all buffer work is cancelled on port destruction.

tty_ldisc_hangup() guarantees the ldisc is enabled (or that there
is no ldisc). Since __tty_hangup() was the only user, re-define
tty_ldisc_enable() in file-scope.
