tty: never hold BTM while getting tty_mutex
tty_mutex is never taken with the BTM held, except for two corner cases that are worked around here. We give up the BTM before calling tty_release() in the error path of tty_open(). Similarly, we reorder the locking in ptmx_open() to get tty_mutex before the BTM.
