[PATCH] tty: clarify disassociate_ctty
The code to look at tty_old_pgrp and send SIGHUP and SIGCONT when it is present only executes when disassociate_ctty is called from do_exit. Make this clear by adding an explict on_exit check, and explicitly setting tty_old_pgrp to 0. In addition fix the locking by reading tty_old_pgrp under the siglock. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
