[PATCH 42/68] tty: remove tty_lock_nested

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Aug 10 2010 - 18:04:07 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

This changes all remaining users of tty_lock_nested
to be non-recursive, which lets us kill this function.
As a consequence, we won't need to keep the lock count
any more, which allows more simplifications later.
