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).
However, dropping the tty lock is a hold-over from when the tty
lock was system-wide; ie., one lock for all ttys.
Since commit 89c8d91e31f267703e365593f6bfebb9f6d2ad01,
'tty: localise the lock', dropping the tty lock has not been necessary.
