[PATCHv3 0/6] tty: Hold write ldisc sem in tty_reopen()

Hi all,

Three fixes that worth to have in the @stable, as we've hit them on v4.9
stable.

And for linux-next - adding lockdep asserts for line discipline changing
code, verifying that write ldisc sem will be held forthwith.

The last patch is optional and probably, timeout can be dropped for
read_lock(). I'll do it if everyone agrees.

Rong Chen, could you kindly re-run this version to see if the lockup
from v1 still happens? I wasn't able to reproduce it..

Thanks,
Dima

Changes since v2:
- Added reviewed-by tags
- Hopefully, fixed reported by 0-day issue.
- Added optional fix for wait_readers decrement

Changes since v1:
- Added tested-by/reported-by tags
- Dropped 3/4 (locking tty pair for lockdep sake),
Because of that - not adding lockdep_assert_held() in tty_ldisc_open()
- Added 4/4 cleanup to inc tty->count only on success of
tty_ldisc_reinit()
- lock ldisc without (5*HZ) timeout in tty_reopen()
