X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~31745
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2cb5998b5f0ccc886fdda3509059eef297b49577;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

tty: the vhangup syscall is racy

We now have the infrastructure to sort this out but rather than teaching
the syscall tty lock rules we move the hard work into a tty helper
