I could reproduce the problem now and bisected it down to a cleanup
patch that can fortunately get reverted. The symptom that I saw
is that when I open a serial port for the second time (e.g. starting
getty and logging in), the output gets garbled, while the first one
worked fine. This does not rely on the console code at all.

Original commit message:
    Our code now rather closely resembles the helper, so switch to it.

Apparently, the two functions are not really doing the same,
so revert the commit for now. This includes the addition of
a tty_unlock()/tty_lock() pair when blocking on the wait queue.

Greg, do you want to apply this patch on top of the series, or
do you prefer to get a replacement for the original patch, once
we know what's wrong with it?

Tony, can you confirm that with this patch added, everything's
fine for you?

Alan, any idea where the problem may be with the broken patch?
