tty: fix BKL related leak and crash

Browse Source 
Enabling the BKL to be lockdep tracked uncovered the following
upstream kernel bug in the tty code, which caused a BKL
reference leak:

  ================================================
  [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
  ------------------------------------------------
  dmesg/3121 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
  1 lock held by dmesg/3121:
   #0:  (kernel_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02f34d9>] opost+0x24/0x194

this might explain some of the atomicity warnings and crashes
that -tip tree testing has been experiencing since the BKL
was converted back to a spinlock.
