tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
PATCH 1/1 tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
From: Alan Cox <[email protected]>
In theory we don't need it, in practice we are hitting some ill understood deadlock when we don't drop it. The old code dropped it here so we are not undoing anything problematic for pty. If pty could be unloaded it would be a problem but it can't.
