[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking

Browse source 
Fix the locking of signal->tty.

Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.

(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)

Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).

It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.

(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
       be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
       it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
       invocations)
