This f_op replacing without synchronization seems really iffy imho.
Why can't the hangup just be recorded in tty_file_private and then
checked in the corresponding f_op->$method()?

And if that's not possible for some reason I'd be willing to sacrifice
one of the FMODE_* bits I recently freed up and add e.g.,
FMODE_TTY_HANGUP instead of this f_op raciness (Why wasn't this using
replace_fops anyway so it'd be easy to grep for it?).

Something like the completely untested below:
