This hangs up any existing opens which other processes may have and ensures subsequent opens have the necessary permissions to open the root shell tty/pty. Reset the TTY_HUPPED state after the driver has successfully returned the opened tty (perform the reset while the tty is locked to avoid racing with concurrent hangups).
