[ Upstream commit a4a3e061149f09c075f108b6f1cf04d9739a6bc2 ]
tty_ldisc_ref_wait() checks tty->ldisc under tty->ldisc_sem. But if ldisc==NULL it releases them sem and reloads tty->ldisc without holding the sem. This is wrong and can lead to returning non-NULL ldisc without protection.
Don't reload tty->ldisc second time.
