tty: combine tty_ldisc_ops docs into kernel-doc
In Documentation/driver-api/serial/tty.rst, there are duplicated texts about some struct tty_ldisc_ops' hooks. Combine them into existing kernel-doc comments of struct tty_ldisc_ops and drop them from the Documentation/.

Line Discipline Methods
-----------------------
-TTY side interfaces
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-======================= =======================================================
-open() Called when the line discipline is attached to
- the terminal. No other call into the line
- discipline for this tty will occur until it
- completes successfully. Should initialize any
- state needed by the ldisc, and set receive_room
- in the tty_struct to the maximum amount of data
- the line discipline is willing to accept from the
- driver with a single call to receive_buf().
- Returning an error will prevent the ldisc from
- being attached. Can sleep.
-
-close() This is called on a terminal when the line
- discipline is being unplugged. At the point of
- execution no further users will enter the
- ldisc code for this tty. Can sleep.
-
-hangup() Called when the tty line is hung up.
- The line discipline should cease I/O to the tty.
- No further calls into the ldisc code will occur.
- Can sleep.
-
-read() (optional) A process requests reading data from
- the line. Multiple read calls may occur in parallel
- and the ldisc must deal with serialization issues.
- If not defined, the process will receive an EIO
- error. May sleep.
-
-write() (optional) A process requests writing data to the
- line. Multiple write calls are serialized by the
- tty layer for the ldisc. If not defined, the
- process will receive an EIO error. May sleep.
-
-flush_buffer() (optional) May be called at any point between
- open and close, and instructs the line discipline
- to empty its input buffer.
-
-set_termios() (optional) Called on termios structure changes.
- The caller passes the old termios data and the
- current data is in the tty. Called under the
- termios semaphore so allowed to sleep. Serialized
- against itself only.
-
-poll() (optional) Check the status for the poll/select
- calls. Multiple poll calls may occur in parallel.
- May sleep.
-
-ioctl() (optional) Called when an ioctl is handed to the
- tty layer that might be for the ldisc. Multiple
- ioctl calls may occur in parallel. May sleep.
-
-compat_ioctl() (optional) Called when a 32 bit ioctl is handed
- to the tty layer that might be for the ldisc.
- Multiple ioctl calls may occur in parallel.
- May sleep.

-Driver Side Interfaces
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-======================= =======================================================
-receive_buf() (optional) Called by the low-level driver to hand
- a buffer of received bytes to the ldisc for
- processing. The number of bytes is guaranteed not
- to exceed the current value of tty->receive_room.
- All bytes must be processed.
-
-receive_buf2() (optional) Called by the low-level driver to hand
- a buffer of received bytes to the ldisc for
- processing. Returns the number of bytes processed.
-
- If both receive_buf() and receive_buf2() are
- defined, receive_buf2() should be preferred.
-
-write_wakeup() May be called at any point between open and close.
- The TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP flag indicates if a call
- is needed but always races versus calls. Thus the
- ldisc must be careful about setting order and to
- handle unexpected calls. Must not sleep.
-
- The driver is forbidden from calling this directly
- from the ->write call from the ldisc as the ldisc
- is permitted to call the driver write method from
- this function. In such a situation defer it.
-
-dcd_change() Report to the tty line the current DCD pin status
- changes and the relative timestamp. The timestamp
- cannot be NULL.
