It worked, thanks!

But I had to manually apply this patch (this function looks different now)
Updated patch below:
---
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
Subject: [PATCH] tty: make sure that proc_clear_tty stores the cpu flags

proc_clear_tty() gets called with interrupts off (while holding the task list lock)
from sys_setid. This means that it needs the _irqsave version of the locking primitives.
