Subject: [PATCH 49/80] tty: Redo current tty locking

From: Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com>

Currently it is sometimes locked by the tty mutex and sometimes by the
sighand lock. The latter is in fact correct and now we can hand back referenced
objects we can fix this up without problems around sleeping functions.
