[PATCH v8 2/3] tty: new helper function tty_get_icount()

[Uwe Kleine-König]

For a given struct tty_struct this yields the corresponding statistics
about sent and received characters (and some more) which is needed to
implement an LED trigger for tty devices.

The new function is then used to simplify tty_tiocgicount().
