Replaced the IDR API with the XArray API for managing TTY minor numbers. This addresses the checkpatch warning about DEFINE_IDR being deprecated.
Following changes include: - Replaced DEFINE_IDR with DEFINE_XARRAY_ALLOC - Replace idr_find with xa_load - Replace idr_alloc with xa_alloc - Replace idr_remove with xa_erase - Replace idr_destroy with xa_destroy - Updated the include to use xarray
No core functional changes, just modernized the code to a new API.

While I understand that some people might feel that xarrays are the bees-knees, for something "simple" like an idr, it's overkill, right?
This is "just" a unique integer that is used for a device name, leaving it as an idr should be just fine as there is no performance or storage issues with it as-is.
So while I'm all for using new apis for new code, unless all usages of idr is going to be replaced in the kernel with xarray, I don't really feel that this is needed to be done here, sorry.
thanks,
