[PATCHv3] tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute

[Hannes Reinecke]

The 'active' sysfs attribute should refer to the currently
active tty devices the console is running on, not the currently
active console.
The console structure doesn't refer to any device in sysfs,
only the tty the console is running on has.
So we need to print out the tty names in 'active', not
the console names.
