[PATCH 3/12] tty: Fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed Dec 13 2006 - 06:20:05 EST


commit 24ec839c431eb79bb8f6abc00c4e1eb3b8c4d517 while fixing
the locking for signal->tty got the locking wrong for
signal->session. This places our accesses of signal->session
back under the tasklist_lock where they belong.
