tty: Move the handling of the tty release logic
Now that we don't have tty->termios tied to drivers->tty we can untangle
the logic here. In addition we can push the removal logic out of the
destructor path.
At that point we can think about sorting out tty_port and console and all
the other ugly hangovers.
