4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dmitry Safonov <dima@xxxxxxxxxx> commit cf62a1a13749db0d32b5cdd800ea91a4087319de upstream. As notted by Jiri, tty_ldisc_reinit() shouldn't rely on tty counter. Simplify math by increasing the counter after reinit success.
