Merge tag 'tty-4.12-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty

Pull tty fix from Greg KH:
 "Here is a single tty core fix for 4.12-rc4. It reverts a patch that a
  lot of people reported as causing lockdep and other warnings.

  Right after I reverted this in my tree, it seems like another
  "correct" fix might have shown up, but it's too late in the release
  cycle to be messing with tty core locking, so let's just revert this
  for now to go back how things always have been and try it again for
  4.13.

  This has not been in linux-next as I only reverted it a few hours ago"
