Subject: [PATCH 01/13] proc tty: introduce ->proc_fops

Add struct tty_operations:proc_fops .

The intent is gradual switch of TTY drivers from ->read_proc usage.
proc entries are created with proc_create_data() which even fixes
early-read races.

Eventually ->read_proc code will be removed from TTY code, thus helping
remove ->read_proc from whole proc code.
