tty/ldsem: Add lockdep asserts for ldisc_sem Make sure under CONFIG_LOCKDEP that each change to line discipline is done with held write semaphor. Otherwise potential reader will have a good time dereferencing incomplete/uninitialized ldisc. An exception here is tty_ldisc_open(), as it's called without ldisc_sem locked by tty_init_dev() => tty_ldisc_setup() for the tty->link. It seem valid as tty_init_dev() will call tty_driver_install_tty() which will find ops->install(). Install will establish tty->link in pty_common_install(), just after allocation of slave tty with alloc_tty_struct(). So, no one should have a reference to slave pty yet.
