tty: Move tty->closing from port lock critical section
tty->closing informs the line discipline that the hardware will
be shutting down imminently, and to disable further input other
than soft flow control (but to still allow additional output).
However, the tty lock is the necessary lock for preventing
concurrent changes to tty->closing. As shown by the call-tree
audit [1] of functions that modify tty->closing, the tty lock
is already held for those functions.
[1]
Call-tree audit of functions that modify tty->closing
* does not include call tree to tty_port_close(), tty_port_close_start(),
or tty_port_close_end() which is already documented in
'tty: Document locking for tty_port_close{,start,end}' that shows
callers to those 3 functions hold the tty lock
