[PATCH 2/3] RFC: Solved unnecessary schedule latency in the TTY layer (2/3)

[Ivo Sieben <meltedpianoman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Solved unnecessary schedule latency in the TTY layer when used in
realtime context:
The global "normal" spin lock that guards the line discipline
administration is replaced by a raw spin lock.

Note: In a PREEMPT_RT system "normal" spin locks behave like mutexes and
no interrupts (and therefor no scheduling) is disabled.
