Currently, when the tty is hungup, the ldisc is re-instanced; ie., the
current instance is destroyed and a new instance is created. The purpose
of this design was to guarantee a valid, open ldisc for the lifetime of
the tty.

However, now that tty buffers are owned by and have lifetime equivalent
to the tty_port (since v3.10), any data received immediately after the
ldisc is re-instanced may cause continued driver i/o operations
concurrently with the driver's hangup() operation. For drivers that
shutdown h/w on hangup, this is unexpected and usually bad. For example,
the serial core may free the xmit buffer page concurrently with an
in-progress write() operation (triggered by echo).

With the existing stable and robust ldisc reference handling, the
cleaned-up tty_reopen(), the straggling unsafe ldisc use cleaned up, and
the preparation to properly handle a NULL tty->ldisc, the ldisc instance
can be destroyed and only re-instanced when the tty is re-opened.

If the tty was opened as /dev/console or /dev/tty0, the original behavior
of re-instancing the ldisc is retained (the 'reinit' parameter to
tty_ldisc_hangup() is true). This is required since those file descriptors
are never hungup.

This patch has neglible impact on userspace; the tty file_operations ptr
is changed to point to the hungup file operations _before_ the ldisc
instance is destroyed, so only racing file operations might now retrieve
a NULL ldisc reference (which is simply handled as if the hungup file
operation had been called instead -- see "tty: Prepare for destroying
line discipline on hangup").

This resolves a long-standing FIXME and several crash reports.
