    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.
