Qingfang DengandGreg Kroah-Hartman a5f3cae95d 6pack: drop redundant locking and refcounting
[ Upstream commit 38b04ed707 ]

The TTY layer already serializes line discipline operations with
tty->ldisc_sem, so the extra disc_data_lock and refcnt in 6pack
are unnecessary.

Removing them simplifies the code and also resolves a lockdep warning
reported by syzbot. The warning did not indicate a real deadlock, since
the write-side lock was only taken in process context with hardirqs
disabled.
