Subject: [PATCH v5 20/44] tty: Separate release semantics of ldisc reference
tty_ldisc_ref()/tty_ldisc_unref() have usage semantics
equivalent to down_read_trylock()/up_read(). Only
callers of tty_ldisc_put() are performing the additional
operations necessary for proper ldisc teardown, and then only
after ensuring no outstanding 'read lock' remains.
Thus, tty_ldisc_unref() should never be the last reference;
WARN if it is. Conversely, tty_ldisc_put() should never be
destructing if the use count != 1.
