tty: Document check_tty_count() requires tty_lock held
Holding the tty_lock() is necessary to prevent concurrent changes to the tty count that may cause it to differ from the open file list count. The tty_lock() is already held at all call sites. NB: Note that the check for the pty master tty count is safe because the slave's tty_lock() is held while decrementing the pty master tty count.
