Alan Cox 04f378b198 tty: BKL pushdown
- Push the BKL down into the line disciplines
- Switch the tty layer to unlocked_ioctl
- Introduce a new ctrl_lock spin lock for the control bits
- Eliminate much of the lock_kernel use in n_tty
- Prepare to (but don't yet) call the drivers with the lock dropped
  on the paths that historically held the lock

BKL now primarily protects open/close/ldisc change in the tty layer
