Switch generic_serial to do port count locking via the tty_port structure
ready for moving to a common port wait routine. Keep the old driver lock for
internal calling so we don't risk messing up the drivers below until we
are ready.

Still needs kref conversions

This is the first step to generalising the various pieces of waiting logic
duplicated in all sorts of serial drivers.

Many tty drivers contain 'can't happen' checks against NULL pointers passed
in by the tty layer. These have never been possible to occur. Even more
importantly if they ever do occur we want to know as it would be a serious
bug.

- Stop drivers calling their own flush method indirectly, it obfuscates code
  and it will change soon anyway

- A few more lock_kernel paths temporarily needed in some driver internal
  waiting code

- Remove private put_char method that does a write call for one char - we
  have that anyway

- Most but not yet all of the termios copy under lock fixing (some has other
  dependencies to follow)

- Note a few locking bugs in drivers found in the process

- Kill remaining [ab]users of TIOCG/SSOFTCAR in the driver, these must go to
  fix the termios locking

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h.  It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.

We've been using the 'new locking' for a long time now so it seems
pointless keeping the old one around.  Remove it and undo the macros it
uses back into real code for readability.  Remove the bogus 'no termios
change' checks.
