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
