tty: Fix hang at ldsem_down_read()
When a controlling tty is being hung up and the hang up is waiting for a just-signalled tty reader or writer to exit, and a new tty reader/writer tries to acquire an ldisc reference concurrently with the ldisc reference release from the signalled reader/writer, the hangup can hang. The new reader/writer is sleeping in ldsem_down_read() and the hangup is sleeping in ldsem_down_write() [1]. The new reader/writer fails to wakeup the waiting hangup because the wrong lock count value is checked (the old lock count rather than the new lock count) to see if the lock is unowned. Change helper function to return the new lock count if the cmpxchg was successful; document this behavior.
