Subject: tty: drop the BKL for driver/ldisc ioctl methods
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d17468c73e138e1108b279acf892dd35937d43ed;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

tty: drop the BKL for driver/ldisc ioctl methods

Now we have pushed the lock down we can stop wrapping the call with a lock in
the tty layer.
