tty: Make get_current_tty use a kref

We now return a kref covered tty reference. That ensures the tty structure
doesn't go away when you have a return from get_current_tty. This is not
enough to protect you from most of the resources being freed behind your
back - yet.

[Updated to include fixes for SELinux problems found by Andrew Morton and
 an s390 leak found while debugging the former]
