If the master and slave ptys are opened in parallel, the slave open
fails because the pty is still locked. This is as designed.
However, pty_close() is still called for the slave pty which sets
TTY_OTHER_CLOSED in the master pty. This can cause the master open
to fail as well.

Use a common pattern in other tty drivers by setting TTY_IO_ERROR
until the open is successful and only closing the pty if not set.

Note: the master pty always closes regardless of whether the open
was successful, so that proper cleanup can occur.
