[Devel] [PATCH 2/3] tty: Avoid threads files iterations in __do_SAK()

The patch makes __do_SAK() iterate a next thread files
only in case of the thread's files are different
to previous. I.e., if all threads points the same
files_struct, the files will be iterated only once.

Since all threads have the same files_struct is
the generic case for most Linux systems, this
improvement should clearly speed up __do_SAK()
execution.

Also, for_each_process()/for_each_thread() are
used instead of do_each_thread()/while_each_thread().
This prepares __do_SAK() to become tasklist_lock
free, and will be made in next patch.
