Subject: tty: Make lock subclasses available for other tty locks
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3abf87cd3e70009ed70a7f28c2914888a7e27332;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

tty: Make lock subclasses available for other tty locks

Besides nested legacy_mutex locking which is required on pty pair
teardown, other nested pty operations require lock subclassing.

Move lock subclass definition to tty interface header, include/linux/tty.h,
and document its use.
