tty: Signal SIGHUP before hanging up ldisc

An exiting session leader can hang if a foreground process is
blocking for line discipline i/o, eg. in n_tty_read(). This happens
because the blocking reader is holding an ldisc reference (indicating
the line discipline is in-use) which prevents __tty_hangup() from
recycling the line discipline. Although waiters are woken before
attempting to gain exclusive access for changing the ldisc, the
blocking reader in this case will not exit the i/o loop since it
has not yet received SIGHUP (because it has not been sent).

Instead, perform signalling first, then recycle the line discipline.

Fixes:

INFO: task init:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
