tty: tty_jobctrl: fix pid memleak in disassociate_ctty()

Browse Source 
There is a pid leakage:
------------------------------
unreferenced object 0xffff88810c181940 (size 224):
  comm "sshd", pid 8191, jiffies 4294946950 (age 524.570s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de  .............N..
    ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  ....kkkk........

It turns out that there is a race condition between disassociate_ctty() and
tty_signal_session_leader(), which caused this leakage.

The pid memleak is triggered by the following race:
task[sshd]                     task[bash]
-----------------------        -----------------------
                               disassociate_ctty();
                               spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
                               put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp);
                               current->signal->tty_old_pgrp = NULL;
                               tty = tty_kref_get(current->signal->tty);
                               spin_unlock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
tty_vhangup();
tty_lock(tty);
...
tty_signal_session_leader();
spin_lock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
...
if (tty->ctrl.pgrp) //tty->ctrl.pgrp is not NULL
p->signal->tty_old_pgrp = get_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp); //An extra get
spin_unlock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
...
tty_unlock(tty);
                               if (tty) {
                                   tty_lock(tty);
                                   ...
                                   put_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp);
                                   tty->ctrl.pgrp = NULL; //It's too late
                                   ...
                                   tty_unlock(tty);
                               }

The issue is believed to be introduced by commit c8bcd9c5be ("tty:
Fix ->session locking") who moves the unlock of siglock in
disassociate_ctty() above "if (tty)", making a small window allowing
tty_signal_session_leader() to kick in. It can be easily reproduced by
adding a delay before "if (tty)" and at the entrance of
tty_signal_session_leader().

To fix this issue, we move "put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp)" after
"tty->ctrl.pgrp = NULL".
