    ms/tty: Make lock subclasses available for other tty locks
    
    Besides nested legacy_mutex locking which is required on pty pair
    teardown, other nested pty operations require lock subclassing.
    
    Move lock subclass definition to tty interface header, include/linux/tty.h,
    and document its use.
