tty: reorder ldisc locking
We need to release the BTM in paste_selection() when sleeping in tty_ldisc_ref_wait to avoid deadlocks with tty_ldisc_enable. In tty_set_ldisc, we now always grab the BTM before taking the ldisc_mutex in order to avoid AB-BA deadlocks between the two. tty_ldisc_halt potentially blocks on a workqueue function that takes the BTM, so we must release the BTM before calling it.
