tty: Add NULL TTY driver If no console driver is enabled (or if a non-present driver is selected with something like console=null in an attempt to disable the console), opening /dev/console errors out, and init scripts and other userspace code that relies on the existence of a console will fail. Symlinking /dev/null to /dev/console does not solve the problem since /dev/null does not behave like a real TTY. To just provide a dummy console to userspace when no console driver is available or desired, add a ttynull driver which simply discards all writes. It can be chosen on the command line in the standard way, i.e. with console=ttynull.

tty: make tty_operations::write_room return uint Line disciplines expect a positive value or zero returned from tty->ops->write_room (invoked by tty_write_room). So make this assumption explicit by using unsigned int as a return value. Both of tty->ops->write_room and tty_write_room.

tty: drop put_tty_driver put_tty_driver() is an alias for tty_driver_kref_put(). There is no need for two exported identical functions, therefore switch all users of old put_tty_driver() to new tty_driver_kref_put() and remove the former for good.
