tty: avoid recursive BTM in pty_close
When the console has been redirected, a hangup of the tty will cause tty_release to be called under the big tty_mutex, which leads to a deadlock because hangup is also called under the BTM. This moves the BTM deeper into the tty_hangup function so we can close the redirected tty without holding the BTM. In case of pty, we now need to drop the BTM before calling tty_vhangup.
