tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() drops the tty lock while waiting

However, dropping the tty lock is a hold-over from when the tty
lock was system-wide; ie., one lock for all ttys.
Since commit 89c8d91e31f267703e365593f6bfebb9f6d2ad01,
'tty: localise the lock', dropping the tty lock has not been necessary.

I've applied the first 13 patches in this series, as it looks like you
were going to split things up from here, right?
Yes, thanks for doing that.
Can you refresh these and resend when you have that done?
Unfortunately, that probably won't be until after the 3.17 merge window,
for 3.18. The tty_open() rework is not trivial and there is an issue
with the ldisc flush removal patch.
I'm hoping to include the tty flow control fixes with that stuff as well.

Peter Hurley
