Revert "tty: Add a new file /proc/tty/consoles"
This reverts commit f4a3e0bceb57466c31757f25e4e0ed108d1299ec. Jiri Sladby points out that the tty structure we're using may already be gone, and Al Viro doesn't hold back in complaining about the random loading of 'filp->private_data' which doesn't have to be a pointer at all, nor does checking the magic field for TTY_MAGIC prove anything. Belated review by Al: "a) global variable depending on stdin of the last opener? Affecting output of read(2)? Really? b) iterator is broken; list should be locked in ->start(), unlocked in ->stop() and *NOT* unlocked/relocked in ->next() c) ->show() ought to do nothing in case of ->device == NULL, instead of skipping those in ->next()/->start() d) regardless of the merits of the bright idea about asterisk at that line in output *and* regardless of (a), the implementation is not only atrociously ugly, it's actually very likely to be a roothole. Verifying that Cthulhu knows what number happens to be address of a tty_struct by blindly dereferencing memory at that address... Ouch. Please revert that crap." And Christoph pipes in and NAK's the approach of walking fd tables etc too. So it's pretty unanimous.
