TTY fix for 4.11-rc7

Here is a single tty core revert for a patch that was reported to cause
 problems.  The original issue is one that we have lived with for
 decades, so trying to scramble to fix the fix in time for 4.11-final
 does not make sense due to the fragility of the tty ldisc layer.  Just
 reverting it makes sense for now.
