Subject: [PATCH] tty: Only hangup once

Instrumented testing shows a tty can be hungup multiple times [1].
Although concurrent hangups are properly serialized, multiple
hangups for the same tty should be prevented.

If tty has already been HUPPED, abort hangup. Note it is not
necessary to cleanup file *redirect on subsequent hangups,
as only TIOCCONS can set that value and ioctls are disabled
after hangup.

Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>

[1]
Test performed by simulating a concurrent async hangup via
tty_hangup() with a sync hangup via tty_vhangup(), while
__tty_hangup() was instrumented with:
