[PATCH v2 6/7] n_tty: Remove tty count checks from unthrottle

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Sun Jan 10 2016 - 00:47:08 EST


Since n_tty_check_unthrottle() is only called from n_tty_read()
which only originates from a userspace read(), the tty count cannot
be 0; the read() guarantees the file descriptor has not yet been
released.
