tty: Fix race in the flush for some ldiscs
If you issue an ioctl to flush a tty as the line discipline is changing or
otherwise unplugged you can get a crash. The bug is very old but the rest
of the BKL lock dropping and some very "good" luck on Ingo's part caught
an example.
Use the correct ldisc_ref form so that we wait for the ldisc change to
complete and then flush
