tty: r3964: Replace/remove bogus tty lock use
The tty lock is strictly for serializing tty lifetime events (open/close/hangup), and not for line discipline serialization. The tty core already provides serialization of concurrent writes to the same tty, and line discipline lifetime management (by ldisc references), so pinning the tty via tty_lock() is unnecessary and counter-productive; remove tty lock use. However, the line discipline is responsible for serializing reads (if required by the line discipline); add read_lock mutex to serialize calls of r3964_read().
