tty: fix up and plug in tty_ioctl kernel-doc

The ioctl helpers are well documented, except they are not plugged in
the Documentation. So fix up the minor issues in the kernel-doc and plug
it in.

The minor issues include:
* bad \t on every line (sphinx misinterprets the description otherwise)
* missing colon after Return
* superfluous \n after the comment
* make some struct members and constants a hyperlink
* and so on

Perhaps better to use --word-diff if one wants to see the "real"
changes.
