Waiting for a pending hangup to complete is not a necessary post-operation of using tty_ldisc_halt() and not sufficient to guarantee a hangup is not in-progress. As far as the ldisc layer is concerned, waiting for a pending hangup is necessary only prior to changing the ldisc while handling the TIOCSETD ioctl (and only because the tty lock must be released as a precondition of halting the ldisc).
