[PATCH 01/17] tty: deprecate tty_write_message()

[Jiri Slaby (SUSE)]

tty_write_message() has only one user: quotas. In particular, there the
use depends on CONFIG_PRINT_QUOTA_WARNING. And that is deprecated and
marked as BROKEN already too.

So make tty_write_message() dependent on that very config option. This
action in fact drops tty_write_message() from the vmlinux binary. Good
riddance.
