tty: Document locking for tty_port_close{,start,end}()

The tty lock is held when the tty driver's .close method is called
(from the two lone call-sites of tty_release() and __tty_hangup()).
The call-tree audit[1] of tty_port_close(), tty_port_close_start,
and tty_port_close_end() is a closed graph of the callers of these
3 functions; ie., all callers originate from only tty_release()
or __tty_hangup().

Of these callers, none drop the tty lock.

Also, document tty_port_close_start() may drop and reacquire the
tty lock in tty_wait_until_sent_from_close(), which means the tty
or tty_port may have changed state (but not reopened or hung up).

* line_close() is the .close method for 2 um drivers,
  declared in ./arch/um/drivers/stdio_console.c and
  in ./arch/um/drivers/ssl.c, and not called directly
