tty: fix sanity check
The WARN_ON() that was added to tty_reopen can be triggered in the specific
case of a hangup occurring during a re-open of a tty which is not in the
middle of being otherwise closed.
In that case however the WARN() is bogus as we don't hold the neccessary
locks to make a correct decision.
The case we should be checking is "if the ldisc is not changing and reopen
is occuring". We could drop the WARN_ON but for the moment the debug is more
valuable even if it means taking a mutex as it will find any other cases.
