The serial drivers are really just tty drivers, so move them to
drivers/tty/ to make things a bit neater overall.

This is part of the tty/serial driver movement proceedure as proposed by
Arnd Bergmann and approved by everyone involved a number of months ago.

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.

Some wait_until_sent versions require the big
tty mutex, others don't and some callers of
wait_until_sent already hold it while other don't.
That leads to recursive use of the BTM in these
functions, which we're trying to get rid of.

This turns all cleans up the locking there so
that the driver's wait_until_sent function
never takes the BTM itself if it is already
called with that lock held.

As a preparation for replacing the big kernel lock
in the TTY layer, wrap all the callers in new
macros tty_lock, tty_lock_nested and tty_unlock.

- 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
