tty: Fix ->session locking

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().
