Commit 19ffd68f816878aed456d5e87697f43bd9e3bd2b
('pty: Remove redundant itty reset') introduced a regression
whereby the other pty's linkage is not cleared on teardown.
This triggers a false positive diagnostic in testing.

Properly reset the itty linkage.

<title>n_tty: Encapsulate minimum_to_wake within N_TTY</title>

<content type='text'>
minimum_to_wake is unique to N_TTY processing, and belongs in
per-ldisc data.

Add the ldisc method, ldisc_ops::fasync(), to notify line disciplines
when signal-driven I/O is enabled or disabled. When enabled for N_TTY
(by fcntl(F_SETFL, O_ASYNC)), blocking reader/polls will be woken
for any readable input. When disabled, blocking reader/polls are not
woken until the read buffer is full.

Canonical mode (L_ICANON(tty), n_tty_data::icanon) is not affected by
the minimum_to_wake setting.

<title>tty: fix up atime/mtime mess, take three</title>

<id>b0b885657b6c8ef63a46bc9299b2a7715d19acde</id>
<content type='text'>
We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit
b0de59b5733d: "TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write"), and then
limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "TTY:
fix atime/mtime regression"), but it turns out that this was both
insufficient and overkill.

It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node
to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill
because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an
idle person from an active one with 'w'.

So this tries to fix the problem properly.  It marks the shared ptmx
node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few
seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual
keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is
active or not.

In commit b0de59b5733d ("TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write")
we removed timestamps from tty inodes to fix a security issue and waited
if something breaks.  Well, 'w', the utility to find out logged users
and their inactivity time broke.  It shows that users are inactive since
the time they logged in.

To revert to the old behaviour while still preventing attackers to
guess the password length, we update the timestamps in one-minute
intervals by this patch.

Waiting for buffer work to complete is not required for safely
performing changes to the line discipline, once the line discipline
is halted. The buffer work routine, flush_to_ldisc(), will be
unable to acquire an ldisc ref and all existing references were
waited until released (so it can't already have one).

Ensure running buffer work which may reference the soon-to-be-gone
tty completes and any buffer work running after this point retrieves
a NULL tty.

Also, ensure all buffer work is cancelled on port destruction.
