Subject: [PATCH 61/80] Move tty lookup/reopen to caller

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@...ibm.com>

Move tty_driver_lookup_tty() and tty_reopen() from tty_init_dev()
into tty_open() (one of the two callers of tty_init_dev()).  These
calls are not really required in ptmx_open(), the other caller,
since ptmx_open() would be setting up a new tty.

Changelog[v2]:
	- remove the lookup and reopen calls from ptmx_open
	- merge with recent changes to ttydev tree
