[PATCH] tty: Fix ldisc crash on reopened tty

[Peter Hurley]

If the tty has been hungup, the ldisc instance may have been destroyed.
Continued input to the tty will be ignored as long as the ldisc instance
is not visible to the flush_to_ldisc kworker. However, when the tty
is reopened and a new ldisc instance is created, the flush_to_ldisc
kworker can obtain an ldisc reference before the new ldisc is
completely initialized. This will likely crash:

Ensure the kworker cannot obtain the ldisc reference until the new ldisc
is completely initialized.
