[PATCH] Fix a race condition in pty.c
There is a race condition int pty.c when pty_close wakes up waiter on its pair device before set TTY_OTHER_CLOSED flag. It is possible on SMP or preempt kernel, waiter wakes up too early that it will not get TTY_OTHER_CLOSED flag then fall into sleep again - missed wakeup. hjl reports that this bug will hang some expect scripts on SMP machines.
