[PATCH] uml: console locking fixes

Clean up the console driver locking.  There are various problems here,
including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are
fixed here.  This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes.
 The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration
can race with an open.  Changing a configuration should only be done when a
console isn't opened.  Also, an open must be looking at a stable
configuration.  In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same
locking since it must also see a stable configuration.  With the old locking,
it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would
block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the
lock needed by the mconsole request.

As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the
use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

/* Normally, a driver like this can rely mostly on the tty layer
* locking, particularly when it comes to the driver structure.
* However, in this case, mconsole requests can come in "from the
* side", and race with opens and closes.
*
* The problem comes from line_setup not wanting to sleep if
* the device is open or being opened. This can happen because the
* first opener of a device is responsible for setting it up on the
* host, and that can sleep. The open of a port device will sleep
* until someone telnets to it.
*
* The obvious solution of putting everything under a mutex fails
* because then trying (and failing) to change the configuration of an
* open(ing) device will block until the open finishes. The right
* thing to happen is for it to fail immediately.
*
* We can put the opening (and closing) of the host device under a
* separate lock, but that has to be taken before the count lock is
* released. Otherwise, you open a window in which another open can
* come through and assume that the host side is opened and working.
*
* So, if the tty count is one, open will take the open mutex
* inside the count lock. Otherwise, it just returns. This will sleep
* if the last close is pending, and will block a setup or get_config,
* but that should not last long.
*
* So, what we end up with is that open and close take the count lock.
* If the first open or last close are happening, then the open mutex
* is taken inside the count lock and the host opening or closing is done.
*
* setup and get_config only take the count lock. setup modifies the
* device configuration only if the open count is zero. Arbitrarily
* long blocking of setup doesn't happen because something would have to be
* waiting for an open to happen. However, a second open with
* tty->count == 1 can't happen, and a close can't happen until the open
* had finished.
*
* We can't maintain our own count here because the tty layer doesn't
* match opens and closes. It will call close if an open failed, and
* a tty hangup will result in excess closes. So, we rely on
* tty->count instead. It is one on both the first open and last close.
