[PATCH] 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.
