[PATCH 2/12] tty: Clarify disassociate_ctty

The code to look at tty_old_pgrp and send SIGHUP and SIGCONT
when it is present only executes when disassociate_ctty is
called from do_exit.  Make this clear by adding an explict
on_exit check, and explicitly setting tty_old_pgrp to 0.

In addition fix the locking by reading tty_old_pgrp under
the siglock.
