tty: untangle locking of wait_until_sent
Some wait_until_sent versions require the big
tty mutex, others don't and some callers of
wait_until_sent already hold it while other don't.
That leads to recursive use of the BTM in these
functions, which we're trying to get rid of.
This turns all cleans up the locking there so
that the driver's wait_until_sent function
never takes the BTM itself if it is already
called with that lock held.
