syzbot is reporting hung task due to flood of

tty_warn(tty, "%s: tty->count = 1 port count = %d\n", __func__,
port->count);

message [1], for ioctl(TIOCVHANGUP) prevents tty_port_close() from
decrementing port->count due to tty_hung_up_p() == true.

----------
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
int fd[10];

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
fd[i] = open("/dev/ttyprintk", O_WRONLY);
ioctl(fd[0], TIOCVHANGUP);
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
close(fd[i]);
close(open("/dev/ttyprintk", O_WRONLY));
return 0;
}
----------

When TTY hangup happens, port->count needs to be reset via
"struct tty_operations"->hangup callback.

Using the supplied test code, i've tested the patch on my desktop running the
5.4 kernel. After applying the patch, the kernel warnings like "ttyprintk:
tty_port_close_start: tty->count = 1 port count = 11" do not appear any more,
when the test code is run.
I think the patch is ok.

I wonder if the buffer shouldn't be flushed in hangup too? Or better, the flush moved from tty_ops->close to tty_port->ops->shutdown?

thanks,
