tty: drop the pty lock during hangup

Browse Source 
In theory we don't need it, in practice we are hitting some ill understood
deadlock when we don't drop it. The old code dropped it here so we are not
undoing anything problematic for pty. If pty could be unloaded it would be
a problem but it can't.
