This makes the tty layer use the .write_iter() function instead of the
traditional .write() functionality.

That allows writev(), but more importantly also makes it possible to
enable .splice_write() for ttys, reinstating the "splice to tty"
functionality that was lost in commit 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow
splice read/write without explicit ops").

This now relies on implicit value of hung_up_tty_fops.write_iter (i.e. 
NULL), okay.

Isn't this racy with VFS layer in vfs_write:
        if (file->f_op->write)
                ret = file->f_op->write(file, buf, count, pos);
        else if (file->f_op->write_iter)
                ret = new_sync_write(file, buf, count, pos);

? hung_up_tty_fops do not set iter_write and tty_fops do not set write. When we switch from one to the other here, right after the 'if', but before the call, what happens? Likely nothing for the ->write case immediately as compilers cache the value, but for ->write_iter, I'm not sure. Anyway, this looks broken to me. (Read on.)

Ok, here belongs my earlier note: "if ld == NULL => crash here." That is 
if hangup happens during the ldisc wait, the kernel will crash in 
tty_ldisc_deref.
Is there a reason not to convert hung_up_tty_fops too and leave the 
return hung_up_tty_write here intact? This would also solve the comments 
above.
