tty: Remove tty_wait_until_sent_from_close()
tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() drops the tty lock while waiting for the tty driver to finish sending previously accepted data (ie., data remaining in its write buffer and transmit fifo). tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() was added by commit a57a7bf3fc7e ("TTY: define tty_wait_until_sent_from_close") to prevent the entire tty subsystem from being unable to open new ttys while waiting for one tty to close while output drained. However, since commit 0911261d4cb6 ("tty: Don't take tty_mutex for tty count changes"), holding a tty lock while closing does not prevent other ttys from being opened/closed/hung up, but only prevents lifetime event changes for the tty under lock. Holding the tty lock while waiting for output to drain does prevent parallel non-blocking opens (O_NONBLOCK) from advancing or returning while the tty lock is held. However, all parallel opens _already_ block even if the tty lock is dropped while closing and the parallel open advances. Blocking in open has been in mainline since at least 2.6.29 (see tty_port_block_til_ready(); note the test for O_NONBLOCK is _after_ the wait while ASYNC_CLOSING). IOW, before this patch a non-blocking open will sleep anyway for the _entire_ duration of a parallel hardware shutdown, and when it wakes, the error return will cause a release of its tty, and it will restart with a fresh attempt to open. Similarly with a blocking open that is already waiting; when it's woken, the hardware shutdown has already completed to ASYNC_INITIALIZED is not set, which forces a release and restart as well. So, holding the tty lock across the _entire_ close (which is what this patch does), even while waiting for output to drain, is equivalent to the current outcome wrt parallel opens.
