TTY: add support for unnumbered device nodes
This allows drivers like ttyprintk to avoid hacks to create an unnumbered node in /dev. It used to set TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV in flags and call device_create on its own. That is incorrect, because TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV may be set only if tty_register_device is called explicitly.
