Which means the hangup path should be doing a cancel_delayed_work() in
the case where its not resetting the termios as well and since it isn't
you can't actually (fingers crossed) make the problem worse, its merely as
broken as before.

Ok

The ldisc re-init via SETD should be fine as it locks versus hangup
anyway and always has to.
