Introduce a new function tty_kopen_shared() that yields a struct tty_struct. The semantic difference to tty_kopen() is that the tty is expected to be used already. So rename tty_kopen() to tty_kopen_exclusive() for clearness, adapt the single user and put the common code in a new static helper function. tty_kopen_shared is to be used to implement an LED trigger for tty devices in one of the next patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
