tty: Document locking for tty_port_close{,start,end}()
The tty lock is held when the tty driver's .close method is called (from the two lone call-sites of tty_release() and __tty_hangup()). The call-tree audit[1] of tty_port_close(), tty_port_close_start, and tty_port_close_end() is a closed graph of the callers of these 3 functions; ie., all callers originate from only tty_release() or __tty_hangup(). Of these callers, none drop the tty lock. Also, document tty_port_close_start() may drop and reacquire the tty lock in tty_wait_until_sent_from_close(), which means the tty or tty_port may have changed state (but not reopened or hung up).
