tty: revert incorrectly applied lock patch
I sent GregKH this after the pre-requisites. He dropped the pre-requesites for good reason and unfortunately then applied this patch. Without this reverted you get random kernel memory corruption which will make bisecting anything between it and the properly applied patches a complete sod.
