Thanks Peter.

Well. I'am afraid my testing was wrong, because Karel reports
it fixes the problem...

But. I applied this patch to my 3.11 tree (last commit is bff157b3a)
which also has the additional patch (03e12617 "tty: disassociate_ctty()
sends the extra SIGCONT"), and

        TET_CONFIG=CFG TET_ROOT=.  ./T.tcflush 4

still fails... T.tcflush was compiled on another (Karel's) machine,
perhaps there is something in libc, I do not know.

So let me ask just in case, I assume the fix below doesn't depend on
other changes I could miss?

I'll retest after git-pull and report...
