tty: Strengthen no-subsequent-use guarantee of tty_ldisc_halt()
In preparation for destructing and freeing the tty, the line discipline
must first be brought to an inactive state before it can be destructed.
This line discipline shutdown must:
- disallow new users of the ldisc
- wait for existing ldisc users to finish
- only then, cancel/flush their pending/running work
Factor tty_ldisc_wait_idle() from tty_set_ldisc() and tty_ldisc_kill()
to ensure this shutdown order.
Failure to provide this guarantee can result in scheduled work
running after the tty has already been freed, as indicated in the
following log message:
