TTY: open/hangup race fixup

commit acfa747baf73922021a047f2d87a2d866f5dbab5 upstream.

Like in the "TTY: don't allow reopen when ldisc is changing" patch,
this one fixes a TTY WARNING as described in the option 1) there:
1) __tty_hangup from tty_ldisc_hangup to tty_ldisc_enable. During this
section tty_lock is held. However tty_lock is temporarily dropped in
the middle of the function by tty_ldisc_hangup.

The fix is to introduce a new flag which we set during the unlocked
window and check it in tty_reopen too. The flag is TTY_HUPPING and is
cleared after TTY_HUPPED is set.

While at it, remove duplicate TTY_HUPPED set_bit. The one after
calling ops->hangup seems to be more correct. But anyway, we hold
tty_lock, so there should be no difference.

Also document the function it does that kind of crap.

Nicely reproducible with two forked children:
static void do_work(const char *tty)
{
	if (signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN) == SIG_ERR) exit(1);
	setsid();
	while (1) {
		int fd = open(tty, O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY);
		if (fd < 0) continue;
		if (ioctl(fd, TIOCSCTTY)) continue;
		if (vhangup()) continue;
		close(fd);
	}
	exit(0);
}
