possible bug: open(2) ebusy

Dear man-pages maintainers,


I am not sure that this is really bug, but look at this:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/open.2.html
open(2) version 2011-09-08

and also look at that:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/tty_ioctl.4.html
tty_ioctl(4) version 2008-10-29


As it stated in tty_ioctl(4), if a terminal is set into exclusive mode
by TIOCEXCL then open fails with EBUSY. It is how it really works on
my linux-system. But open(2) says nothing about returning EBUSY,
except statement about block devices in O_EXCL section. I was really
confused by this situation when I got EBUSY at open() and tried to
understand what was happening from open(2) man-page. Is it possible to
add a brief note about EBUSY and TIOCEXCL into open(2)? I think it
would be helpful for other people.
