tty: drop tty_ldisc_ops::refcount
The refcount is checked only in tty_unregister_ldisc and EBUSY returned if it is nonzero. But none of the tty_unregister_ldisc callers act anyhow if this (or any other) error is returned. So remove tty_ldisc_ops::refcount completely and make tty_unregister_ldisc return 'void' in the next patches. That means we assume tty_unregister_ldisc is not called while the ldisc might be in use. That relies on try_module_get in get_ldops and module_put in put_ldops.
