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.
