As planned by Arnd Bergmann, this moves the following drivers from
drivers/char/ to drivers/tty/ as that's where they really belong:
	amiserial
	nozomi
	synclink
	rocket
	cyclades
	moxa
	mxser
	isicom
	bfin_jtag_comm

Only oddities here are a couple of drivers that bogusly called the ldisc
helpers instead of returning -ENOIOCTLCMD. Fix the bug and the rest goes
away.

We don't actually need this and it causes problems for internal use of
this functionality. Currently there is a single use of the FILE * pointer.
That is the serial core which uses it to check tty_hung_up_p. However if
that is true then IO_ERROR is also already set so the check may be removed.

Again basically cut and paste

Convert the main driver set to use the hooks for GICOUNT

Most tty drivers may block while opening a device.
Since this possibly depends on another thread
closing it first and both threads may need the BTM,
we need to release it here.

We don't need it while waiting and we can lock the ioctls using the port
mutex. While at it eliminate use of the hangup mutex and switch to the port
mutex.

Stanse found a potential null dereference in mgsl_put_char and
mgsl_write. There is a check for tty being NULL, but it is
dereferenced earlier.

Actually, tty cannot be NULL in .write and .put_char, so remove
the tests.

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)
