662143e0a9 Kernel: Resolve deadlock in MasterPTY due to mutex in spinlock scope
MasterPTY::read called DoubleBuffer::read which takes a mutex (which
may block) while holding m_slave's spinlock. If it did block, and was
later rescheduled on a different physical CPU, we would deadlock on
re-locking m_slave inside the unblock callback. (Since our recursive
spinlock implementation is processor based and not process based)

ab06a76920 Kernel: Resolve lock-inversion based deadlock in MasterPTY & BlockSet
MasterPTY's double buffer unblock callback would take m_slave's
spinlock and then call evaluate_block_conditions() which would take
BlockerSet's spinlock, while on the other hand, BlockerSet's
add_blocker would take BlockerSet's spinlock, and then call
should_add_blocker, which would call unblock_if_conditions_are_met,
which would then call should_unblock, which will finally call
MasterPTY::can_read() which will take m_slave's spinlock.
Resolve this by moving the call to evaluate_block_conditions() out of
the scope of m_slave's spinlock, as there's no need to hold the lock
while calling it anyways.

b49f2937f0 Kernel/TTY: Don't return NonnullLockRefPtr when creating MasterPTY
We can just return a normal NonnullRefPtr because nobody needs an actual
*LockRefPtrs here anymore.

82428e2a05 Kernel/TTY: Protect SlavePTY pointer with proper spinlock
Instead of using a LockRefPtr, we could easily use SpinlockProtected to
ensure proper locking of this pointer.

b55199c227 Kernel: Move TTY-related code to a new subdirectory under Devices
The TTY subsystem is represented with unix devices, so it should be
under the Devices directory like the Audio, Storage, GPU and HID
subsystems.
