I tested this wil minincom, picocom and commands like "echo foo >
/dev/ttyS0". They all correctly report "Device or resource busy".

I have addressed all the comments you made. I have also split the patch
into three. Following is summary of each.

Patch 1: introduces the tty_kopen function and checks for TTY_KOPENED
Patch 2: updates speakup code to use tty_kopen instead of
        tty_open_by_driver
Patch 3: reverses the export of tty_open_by_driver

Thanks,
Okash
