TTY/Serial patches for 4.12-rc1

Here is the "big" TTY/Serial patch updates for 4.12-rc1
 
 Not a lot of new things here, the normal number of serial driver updates
 and additions, tiny bugs fixed, and some core files split up to make
 future changes a bit easier for Nicolas's "tiny-tty" work.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while.  There will be a merge
 conflict with include/linux/serdev.h coming from the bluetooth tree
 merge, which we knew about, as we wanted some of the serdev changes to
 go in through that tree.  I'll send the expected merge result as a
 follow-on message.
