serial: core: Move tty and serdev to be children of serial core port device



Let's move tty and serdev controller to be children of the serial core port
device. This way the runtime PM usage count of a child device propagates
to the serial hardware device.

The tty and serdev devices are associated with a specific serial port of
a serial hardware controller device, and we now have serial core hierarchy
of controllers and ports.

The tty device moves happily with just a change of the parent device and
update of device_find_child() handling. The serdev device init needs some
changes to separate the serial hardware controller device from the parent
device.

With this change the tty devices move under sysfs similar to this x86_64
qemu example of a diff of "find /sys -name ttyS*":

 /sys/class/tty/ttyS0
 /sys/class/tty/ttyS3
 /sys/class/tty/ttyS1
-/sys/devices/pnp0/00:04/tty/ttyS0
-/sys/devices/platform/serial8250/tty/ttyS2
-/sys/devices/platform/serial8250/tty/ttyS3
-/sys/devices/platform/serial8250/tty/ttyS1
+/sys/devices/pnp0/00:04/00:04:0/00:04:0.0/tty/ttyS0
+/sys/devices/platform/serial8250/serial8250:0/serial8250:0.3/tty/ttyS3
+/sys/devices/platform/serial8250/serial8250:0/serial8250:0.1/tty/ttyS1
+/sys/devices/platform/serial8250/serial8250:0/serial8250:0.2/tty/ttyS2

If a serdev device is used instead of a tty, it moves in a similar way.
