Sorry I misunderstood your question, there's no check on previous opens:
from man tty_ioctl:

       TIOCEXCL  void
              Put the tty into exclusive mode.  No _further_ open(2) operations  on  the  terminal  are  permitted.
              (They will fail with EBUSY, except for root.)

Emphasis mine.
