I saw a similar problem and applied your patch, but that doesnt seem to
help me.

INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.4.0-uprobes-debug+ #86 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
plymouthd/710 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&tty->legacy_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff813b5054>] tty_lock+0x6c/0x70

but task is already holding lock:
 (&tty->legacy_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff813b5054>] tty_lock+0x6c/0x70

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&tty->legacy_mutex);
  lock(&tty->legacy_mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by plymouthd/710:
 #0:  (tty_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8123f452>] tty_release+0x25a/0x536
 #1:  (&tty->legacy_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff813b5054>]
tty_lock+0x6c/0x70
