Subject: tty: Remove unnecessary re-test of ldisc ref count
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2276ad9765b395577442d6ddf748f72c329234ae;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

tty: Remove unnecessary re-test of ldisc ref count

Since the tty->ldisc is prevented from being changed by tty_set_ldisc()
when a tty is being hung up, re-testing the ldisc user count is
unnecessary -- ie, it cannot be a different ldisc and the user count
cannot have increased (assuming the caller meets the precondition that
TTY_LDISC flag is cleared)

Removal of the 'early-out' locking optimization is necessary for
the subsequent patch 'tty: Fix ldisc halt sequence on hangup'.
