Currently, locking of ->session is very inconsistent; most places
protect it using the legacy tty mutex, but disassociate_ctty(),
__do_SAK(), tiocspgrp() and tiocgsid() don't.
Two of the writers hold the ctrl_lock (because they already need it for
->pgrp), but __proc_set_tty() doesn't do that yet.
On a PREEMPT=y system, an unprivileged user can theoretically abuse
this broken locking to read 4 bytes of freed memory via TIOCGSID if
tiocgsid() is preempted long enough at the right point. (Other things
might also go wrong, especially if root-only ioctls are involved; I'm
not sure about that.)
Change the locking on ->session such that:
- tty_lock() is held by all writers: By making disassociate_ctty()
hold it. This should be fine because the same lock can already be
taken through the call to tty_vhangup_session().
The tricky part is that we need to shorten the area covered by
siglock to be able to take tty_lock() without ugly retry logic; as
far as I can tell, this should be fine, since nothing in the
signal_struct is touched in the `if (tty)` branch.
- ctrl_lock is held by all writers: By changing __proc_set_tty() to
hold the lock a little longer.
- All readers that aren't holding tty_lock() hold ctrl_lock: By
adding locking to tiocgsid() and __do_SAK(), and expanding the area
covered by ctrl_lock in tiocspgrp().

tiocspgrp() takes two tty_struct pointers: One to the tty that userspace
passed to ioctl() (`tty`) and one to the TTY being changed (`real_tty`).
These pointers are different when ioctl() is called with a master fd.
To properly lock real_tty->pgrp, we must take real_tty->ctrl_lock.
This bug makes it possible for racing ioctl(TIOCSPGRP, ...) calls on
both sides of a PTY pair to corrupt the refcount of `struct pid`,
leading to use-after-free errors.

With W=1, the kernel-doc checker complains quite a lot in the tty layer.
Over the time, many documented parameters were renamed, removed or
switched from tty to tty_port and similar. Some were mistyped in the doc
too.
So fix all these in the tty core. (But do not add the missing ones which
the checker complains about too. Not now.) The rest in the tty layer
will follow in the next patches.

The intention was clearly to use the tty_pgrp local variable rather than
re-read tty->pgrp outside of ctrl_lock, so do that.
This bug was introduced by commit 2812d9e9fd ("tty: Combine
SIGTTOU/SIGTTIN handling").

This makes it easier for job control to become optional and/or usable
independently from tty_io.c, as well as providing a nice purpose
separation. No logical changes from this patch.
