Before 33dd474a, these were some kind of protection against race with
HUP. They were protected with port->tty_sem at the same time.
By that commit, the counting was switched to tty_port's one, but the
locking remained the old one. So the count was not protected by
any lock anymore.
The driver should not test whether it raced with HUP or not anyways.
With the new refcounted tty model, it just should proceed as nothing
happened because all needed info is still there. In respect to this,
let's drop the useless and unprotected tests (tty_port->count is
protected by tty_port->lock).

The allocation was moved to probe function in 9842c38e91. And we can
sleep there. So allocate the 4*8192 bytes as GFP_KERNEL to mitigate
the allocation failure.

flush_scheduled_work() in tty_exit() doesn't seem to target any
specific work. If it was to flush work items used in tty generic
layer, they're already flushed properly during tty release.
flush_scheduled_work() is going away. Remove the seemingly redundant
usage.
