tty: add kernel-doc for tty_port

tty_port used to have only short comments along its members. Convert
them into proper kernel-doc comments in front of the structure. And add
some more explanation to them where needed.

The whole structure purpose and handling is documented at the end too --
some pieces of preexisting text moved to this place.

+ * @itty: internal back pointer to &struct tty_struct. Avoid this. It should be
+ *	  eliminated in the long term.
+ * @ops: tty port operations (like activate, shutdown), see &struct
+ *	 tty_port_operations
+ * @client_ops: tty port client operations (like receive_buf, write_wakeup).
+ *		By default, tty_port_default_client_ops is used.
+ * @lock: lock protecting @tty
+ * @blocked_open: # of procs waiting for open in tty_port_block_til_ready()
+ * @count: usage count
+ * @open_wait: open waiters queue (waiting e.g. for a carrier)
+ * @delta_msr_wait: modem status change queue (waiting for MSR changes)
+ * @flags: user TTY flags (%ASYNC_)
+ * @iflags: internal flags (%TTY_PORT_)
+ * @console: when set, the port is a console
+ * @mutex: locking, for open, shutdown and other port operations
+ * @buf_mutex: @xmit_buf alloc lock
+ * @xmit_buf: optional xmit buffer used by some drivers
+ * @close_delay: delay in jiffies to wait when closing the port
+ * @closing_wait: delay in jiffies for output to be sent before closing
+ * @drain_delay: set to zero if no pure time based drain is needed else set to
+ *		 size of fifo
+ * @kref: references counter. Reaching zero calls @ops->destruct() if non-%NULL
+ *	  or frees the port otherwise.
+ * @client_data: pointer to private data, for @client_ops
+ *
+ * Each device keeps its own port level information. &struct tty_port was
+ * introduced as a common structure for such information. As every TTY device
+ * shall have a backing tty_port structure, every driver can use these members.
+ *
+ * The tty port has a different lifetime to the tty so must be kept apart.
+ * In addition be careful as tty -> port mappings are valid for the life
+ * of the tty object but in many cases port -> tty mappings are valid only
+ * until a hangup so don't use the wrong path.
+ *
+ * Tty port shall be initialized by tty_port_init() and shut down either by
+ * tty_port_destroy() (refcounting not used), or tty_port_put() (refcounting).
+ *
+ * There is a lot of helpers around &struct tty_port too. To name the most
+ * significant ones: tty_port_open(), tty_port_close() (or
+ * tty_port_close_start() and tty_port_close_end() separately if need be), and
+ * tty_port_hangup(). These call @ops->activate() and @ops->shutdown() as
+ * needed.
