Define a kfifo inside struct tty_port. We use DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR and let
the preexisting tty_port::xmit_buf be also the buffer for the kfifo.
And handle the initialization/decomissioning along with xmit_buf, i.e.
in tty_port_alloc_xmit_buf() and tty_port_free_xmit_buf(), respectively.
This allows for kfifo use in drivers which opt-in, while others still
may use the old xmit_buf. mxser will be the first user in the next
few patches.

tty_port_operations used to have only 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.

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.

tty.h is long enough already. And I am slowly adding kernel-doc
documentation, so it grows to unmaintainable long mess. To avoid this,
split tty.h further into tty_port.h and move there tty_port-related
declarations and function prototypes (those implemented in tty_port.c).
