Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

One point is to have less places where we actually need tty pointer.
The other is that low_latency is bound to buffer processing and
buffers are now in tty_port. So it makes sense to move low_latency to
tty_port too.Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

tty_port_tty_get in those paths.tty_insert_flip_char is the next one to proceed. This one is used all
over the code, so the patch is huge.Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

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.Cc: Arnd Bergmann
