tty: simplify calling of put_pid.
This patch should contain no functional changes. At some point I got confused and thought put_pid could not be called while a spin lock was held. While it may be nice to avoid that to reduce lock hold times put_pid can be safely called while we hold a spin lock. This patch removes all of the complications from the code introduced by my misunderstanding, making the code a little more readable. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
