Subject: redo locking of tty->pgrp
From: Alan Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Historically tty->pgrp and friends were pid_t and the code "knew" they were
safe. The change to pid structs opened up a few races and the removal of the
BKL in places made them quite hittable. We put tty->pgrp under the ctrl_lock
for the tty.
