[PATCH 13/13] tty: turn ldisc_mutex into a regular mutex

This fixes the lock order of the BTM and
ldisc_mutex so that we never take the BTM
while holding ldisc_mutex, which means
we no longer have to use mutex_lock_tty
when getting ldisc_mutex.

Ignore this one, I just realized that we're releasing
and reacquiring the BTM in tty_ldisc_halt,
tty_set_termios_ldisc and possibly others.

This patch needs more work to make that possible.
