The lock usage was described with its introduction in commit 9005b2a7589540a3733b3abdcfbccfe7746cd1a1. It was necessary because PTY write() shares more state than GIOChannel with other operations. This made char-pty a bit different from other chardev, that only lock around the write operation. This was apparent in commit 7b3621f47a990c5099c6385728347f69a8d0e55c, which introduced an idle source to avoid the lock. By removing the PTY chardev state sharing on write() with previous patch, we can remove the lock and the idle source.
