This will let us sort out a whole pile of tty related races. The
alternative would be to keep points and refcount the termios objects.
However
1. They are tiny anyway
2. Many devices don't use the stored copies
3. We can remove a pty special case

jsm uses a write queue that copies from uart_core circular buffer. This
copying however has some bugs, like not wrapping the head counter. Since
this write queue is also a circular buffer, the consumer function is
ready to use the uart_core circular buffer directly.
This buggy copying function was making some bytes be dropped when
transmitting to a raw tty, doing something like this.

This patch drops the driver write queue entirely, using the circular
buffer from uart_core only.

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.
