This reverts commit b401f8c4f492cbf74f3f59c9141e5be3071071bb. The offending commit claimed that trying to set the values reported back by TIOCGSERIAL as a regular user could result in an -EPERM error when HZ is 250, but that was never the case. With HZ=250, the default 0.5 second value of close_delay is converted to 125 jiffies when set and is converted back to 50 centiseconds by TIOCGSERIAL as expected (not 12 cs as was claimed, even if that was the case before an earlier fix). Comparing the internal current and new jiffies values is just fine to determine if the value is about to change so drop the bogus workaround (which was also backported to stable). For completeness: With different default values for these parameters or with a HZ value not divisible by two, the lack of rounding when setting the default values in tty_port_init() could result in an -EPERM being returned, but this is hardly something we need to worry about.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
