Fix race in tty_fasync() properly

This reverts commit 70362511 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and
commit b04da8bf ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/
restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete.

It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling
__f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt
disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential
ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering.

Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running
lockdep to show the problem.  It goes roughly like this:

 - f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts
   disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can
   cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock.

 - at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that
   commit 70362511 introduced, together with the pre-existing
   sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock
   dependency the other way too.

So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call,
we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the
lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown.  That still
guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all
we really ever needed.
