Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix UML console breakage

User-Mode Linux supplies an alternate TTY_MAJOR driver for stdio console,
so the noctty check in tty_open() must apply only to VT driver tty0
devnode and not the UML console driver tty0 devnode.

Fixes: 11e1d4aa4da1 ("tty: Consolidate noctty checks in tty_open()")
