Introduce tty_debug() macro to output uniform debug information for
tty core debug messages (function name and tty name).

Note: printk(KERN_DEBUG) is retained here over pr_debug() since
messages can be enabled in non-DEBUG builds.
But pr_debug() is the "standard" way to enable/disable debugging
messages, so I'd really like to see that be used here.
Ok, I can do that; I'll roll Joe's suggestions in at that time.
Even better, this is a tty device, so it should be using dev_dbg(),
which gives us tons of good information built-in for the tty and can
properly be parsed by userspace tools to know exactly what device caused
what message at what point in time.

So I'll take this for now, but moving it to use dev_dbg() would be best
eventually.
The issue with using dev_dbg is that (SysV) ptys are not devices. However,
if you'd prefer, I could rework this macro to format output like dev_dbg;
ie., <driver> <tty name>: <fmt>
