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.
