Subject: [PATCH 35/44] tty: let tty_unregister_driver return void

Now that noone checks the return value, switch the return type of
tty_unregister_driver to void. We can do that as we always return zero.

Generally, drivers are not allowed to call tty_unregister_driver while
there are open devices.
