tty: fix data race in tty_ldisc_ref_wait()
tty_ldisc_ref_wait() checks tty->ldisc under tty->ldisc_sem.
But if ldisc==NULL it releases them sem and reloads
tty->ldisc without holding the sem. This is wrong and
can lead to returning non-NULL ldisc without protection.
Don't reload tty->ldisc second time.
