n_tty: Fix termios_rwsem lockdep false positive

Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between
atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock
order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a
read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring
a read lock on the same r/w semaphore.

Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether
the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph,
merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write.

Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so
termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without
triggering lockdep.

 -------------------------------------------------------
 bash/1198 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&tty->termios_rwsem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff816aa3bb>] n_tty_read+0x49b/0x660

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&ldata->atomic_read_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff816aa0f0>] n_tty_read+0x1d0/0x660

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
