TTY: ldisc, allow waiting for ldisc arbitrarily long

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897514

commit df92d0561de364de53c42abc5d43e04ab6f326a5 upstream.

To fix a nasty bug in ldisc hup vs. reinit we need to wait infinitely
long for ldisc to be gone. So here we add a parameter to
tty_ldisc_wait_idle to allow that.

This is only a preparation for the real fix which is done in the
following patches.
