[PATCH] tty: tty_mutex: fix lockdep warning in tty_lock_pair(v1)

[Ming Lei]

Commit d29f3ef39be4eec0362b985305fc526d9be318cf(tty_lock:
Localise the lock) introduces tty_lock_pair, in which
may cause lockdep warning because two locks with same lock
class are to be acquired one after another.

This patch uses mutex_lock_nested annotation to avoid
the warning as suggested by Peter.
