tty: abort break signalling on hangup

Browse source

The break ioctls can race with hangup and end up calling into a tty
driver for a device that is already gone or powered down.

Drivers must handle this race, but TCSBRK and TCSBRKP should still be
aborted to avoid calling back into the driver after a user-controlled
timeout (possibly even after the tty has been reopened).

Note that drivers should disable any break state on shutdown so just
return on hangup (calling break_ctl() again is racy and will most likely
fail for drivers handling the race).
