Since commit 89c8d91e ("tty: localise the lock") I see a dead lock
in one of my dummy_hcd + g_nokia test cases. The first run was usually
okay, the second often resulted in a splat by lockdep and the third was
usually a dead lock.
Lockdep complained about tty->hangup_work and tty->legacy_mutex taken
both ways:

| *** DEADLOCK ***

Before the path mentioned tty_ldisc_release() look like this:

|	tty_ldisc_halt(tty);
|	tty_ldisc_flush_works(tty);
|	tty_lock();

As it can be seen, it first flushes the workqueue and then grabs the
tty_lock. Now we grab the lock first:

|	tty_lock_pair(tty, o_tty);
|	tty_ldisc_halt(tty);
|	tty_ldisc_flush_works(tty);

so lockdep's complaint seems valid.

The earlier version of this patch took the ldisc_mutex since the other
user of tty_ldisc_flush_works() (tty_set_ldisc()) did this.
Peter Hurley then said that it is should not be requried. Since it
wasn't done earlier, I dropped this part.
The code under tty_ldisc_kill() was executed earlier with the tty lock
taken so it is taken again.

I was able to reproduce the deadlock on v3.8-rc1, this patch fixes the
problem in my testcase. I didn't notice any problems so far.

Now that login from util-linux is forced to drop all references to a
TTY which it wants to hangup (to reach reference count 1) we are
seeing issues with telnet. When login closes its last reference to the
slave PTY, it also resets packet mode on the *master* side. And we
have a race here.

What telnet does is fork+exec of `login'. Then there are two
scenarios:
* `login' closes the slave TTY and resets thus master's packet mode,
  but even now telnet properly sets the mode, or
* `telnetd' sets packet mode on the master, `login' closes the slave
  TTY and resets master's packet mode.

The former case is OK. However the latter happens in much more cases,
by the order of magnitude to be precise. So when one tries to login to
such a messed telnet setup, they see the following:
inux login:
            ogin incorrect

Note the missing first letters -- telnet thinks it is still in the
packet mode, so when it receives "linux login" from `login', it
considers "l" as the type of the packet and strips it.

SuS does not mention how the implementation should behave. Both BSDs I
checked (Free and Net) do not reset the flag upon the last close.

By this I am resurrecting an old bug, see References. We are hitting
it regularly now, i.e. with updated util-linux, ergo login.

Here, I am changing a behavior introduced back in 2.1 times. It would
better have a long time testing before goes upstream.
