All of the open() functions which don't need the BKL on their face may
still depend on its acquisition to serialize opens against driver
initialization. So make those functions acquire then release the BKL to be
on the safe side.

This documents the fact that somebody looked at the relevant open()
functions and concluded that, due to their trivial nature, no locking was
needed.

misc_open() looks fine, but who knows what all of the misc drivers are

Enabling the BKL to be lockdep tracked uncovered the following
upstream kernel bug in the tty code, which caused a BKL
reference leak:
================================================
[ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
------------------------------------------------
dmesg/3121 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by dmesg/3121:
#0: (kernel_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02f34d9>] opost+0x24/0x194
this might explain some of the atomicity warnings and crashes
that -tip tree testing has been experiencing since the BKL
was converted back to a spinlock.

For e.g. proper TTY canonical support, IUTF8 termios flag has to be set as
appropriate. Linux used to not care about setting that flag for VT TTYs.
This patch fixes that by activating it according to the current mode of the
VT, and sets the default value according to the vt.default_utf8 parameter.

x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.
The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.
There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.
