In preparation for adding another sysctl to the tty subsystem, move the
tty setup code into the "core" tty code, which contains tty_init() itself.

TIOCSTI continues its long history of being used in privilege escalation
attacks[1]. Prior attempts to provide a mechanism to disable this have
devolved into discussions around creating full-blown LSMs to provide
arbitrary ioctl filtering, which is hugely over-engineered -- only
TIOCSTI is being used this way. 3 years ago OpenBSD entirely removed
TIOCSTI[2], Android has had it filtered for longer[3], and the tools that
had historically used TIOCSTI either do not need it, are not commonly
built with it, or have had its use removed.
Provide a simple CONFIG and global sysctl to disable this for the system
builders who have wanted this functionality for literally decades now,
much like the ldisc_autoload CONFIG and sysctl.
