vsftpd stack trace

Commit ac89a9174decf343de049a06fad75681f71890eb broke my PPTP: when the box tries to send large data using wide bandwidth (I tried vsftpd and nginx and speed about 500 Kbytes/s and faster), the box locks up after less than second. SysRq+P shows vsftpd or softirqd (in case of nginx) locked in tty_wakeup. One such backtrace is attached. Reverting ac89a9174decf343de049a06fad75681f71890eb fixes this regression.
