It's been a long time since anyone has looked at what struct tty_struct looks like in memory, turns out there was a ton of holes. So move things around a bit, change one variable (closing) from being an int to a bool (it is only being tested for 0/1), and we end up saving 40 bytes per structure overall on x86-64 systems.
