Unify the type of tty_operations::write() counters with the 'count'
parameter. I.e. use size_t for them.

'source' is the same as 'buf'. Rename the parameter ('buf') to
'source' and drop the local variable.

Likely, the two were introduced to have a different type. But 'char' and
'unsigned char' are the same in the kernel for a long time.

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

The hvc machinery registers both a console and a tty device based on
the hv ops provided by the specific implementation.  Those two
interfaces however have different locks, and there's no single locks
that's shared between the tty and the console implementations, hence
the driver needs to protect itself against concurrent accesses.
Otherwise concurrent calls using the split interfaces are likely to
corrupt the ring indexes, leaving the console unusable.

Introduce a lock to xencons_info to serialize accesses to the shared
ring.  This is only required when using the shared memory console,
concurrent accesses to the hypercall based console implementation are
not an issue.

Note the conditional logic in domU_read_console() is slightly modified
so the notify_daemon() call can be done outside of the locked region:
it's an hypercall and there's no need for it to be done with the lock
held.

When hotplug removing an hvcs device, we need to ensure the
hangup processing is done prior to exiting the remove function,
so use tty_vhangup to do the hangup processing directly
rather than using tty_hangup which simply schedules the hangup
work for later execution.
