It needs rather more than that - for the moment I've gone back to the old
races because there is an awkward deadlock case to deal with. I've pushed
some changes to the -next tree to rework all this locking.

I had however missed the tty/real_tty case so something like your changes
might still be relevant. I'll take a look.
