Subject: [PATCH 42/68] tty: remove tty_lock_nested

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

This changes all remaining users of tty_lock_nested
to be non-recursive, which lets us kill this function.
As a consequence, we won't need to keep the lock count
any more, which allows more simplifications later.
