[PATCH] n_tty: release atomic_read_lock before calling schedule_timeout()

From: Artem Savkov
Date: Tue Jul 30 2013 - 11:35:24 EST


ldata->atomic_read_lock should be released before scheduling as well as
tty->termios_rwsem, otherwise there is a potential deadlock detected by lockdep

Introduced in "n_tty: Access termios values safely"
(9356b535fcb71db494fc434acceb79f56d15bda2 in linux-next.git)
