tty/serial: lay the foundations for the next set of reworks
- 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
