tty: fix BKL related leak and crash
Enabling the BKL to be lockdep tracked uncovered the following
upstream kernel bug in the tty code, which caused a BKL
reference leak:
================================================
[ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
------------------------------------------------
dmesg/3121 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by dmesg/3121:
#0: (kernel_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02f34d9>] opost+0x24/0x194
this might explain some of the atomicity warnings and crashes
that -tip tree testing has been experiencing since the BKL
was converted back to a spinlock.
