hvc_console: Add support for tty window resizing

The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal
window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console.
The function stores the new window size and schedules a function
that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to
user space (SIGWINCH).
Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep,
the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll()
or khvcd.

This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer.
A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().
