tty: Serialize proc_set_tty() with tty_lock

Setting the controlling terminal for a session occurs with either
the first open of a non-pty master tty or with ioctl(TIOCSCTTY).
Since only the session leader can set the controlling terminal for
a session (and the session leader cannot change), it is not
necessary to prevent a process from attempting to set different
ttys as the controlling terminal concurrently.

So it's only necessary to prevent the same tty from becoming the
controlling terminal for different session leaders. The tty_lock()
is sufficient to prevent concurrent proc_set_tty() for the same
tty.

Remove the tty_mutex lock region; add tty_lock() to tiocsctty().

While this may appear to allow a race condition between opening
the controlling tty via tty_open_current_tty() and stealing the
controlling tty via ioctl(TIOCSCTTY, 1), that race condition already
existed. Even if the tty_mutex prevented stealing the controlling tty
while tty_open_current_tty() returned the original controlling tty,
it cannot prevent stealing the controlling tty before tty_open() returns.
Thus, tty_open() could already return a no-longer-controlling tty when
opening /dev/tty.
