At present it is not possible to boot with the ttyNMI0 console treating
character input normally, instead character input triggers a prompt
telling the user how to trigger the knock detector and enter the
debugger. To use the console normally requires that kdb be entered and
the nmi_console command be used to enable the console (or if only kgdb
is present then gdb must directly manipulate the value of
kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled).
This patch automates the management of kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled by keeping
track of the number of file handles that are open for reading and using
that to determine how to tty should operate.
The approach means that:
1. Behaviour before init starts is unchanged.
2. If the userspace runs a getty or some other interactive process on
/dev/console (or explicitly on /dev/ttyNMI0) the tty will treat
character input like any other tty.
3. If the userspace doesn't use /dev/console or if it uses /dev/console
only to log messages (O_WRONLY) then the user prompt is retained.
