Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] tty: Fix ioctl(FIOASYNC) on hungup file

A small race window exists which allows signal-driven async i/o to be
enabled for the tty when the file ptr has already been hungup and
signal-driven i/o has been disabled:

CPU 0                                CPU 1
-----                                ------
ioctl_fioasync(on)
  filp->f_op->fasync(on)             __tty_hangup()
    tty_fasync(on)                     tty_lock()
      tty_lock()                       ...
        .                              filp->f_op = &hung_up_tty_fops;
      (waiting)                       __tty_fasync(off)
        .                              tty_unlock()
      /* gets tty lock  */
      /* enables FASYNC */

Check the tty has not been hungup while holding tty_lock.
