+ * @magic: magic value set early in @alloc_tty_struct to %TTY_MAGIC, for

There are already pieces of kernel-doc documentation for struct tty_struct in tty.h. Finish the documentation for the members which were undocumented yet. It also includes tuning the already existing pieces like flow and ctrl, especially adding highlights to them.
