OK, here's a better changelog:

Since commit 3e3b5c087799e536871c8261b05bc28e4783c8da ("tty: use
prepare/finish_wait"), tty_port_block_til_ready() is using
prepare_to_wait()/finish_wait(). Those functions require that
the wait_queue_t be initialised with .func=autoremove_wake_function,
via DEFINE_WAIT().

But the conversion from DECLARE_WAITQUEUE() to DEFINE_WAIT() was
not made, so this code will oops in finish_wait().

Why is nobody reporting the oopses?
