tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() is racy against itself when called
from the ioctl(TCXONC, TCION/TCIOFF) path [1] and the flush_to_ldisc()
workqueue path [2].
The problem is that port->buf.tail->used is modified without consistent
locking; the ioctl path takes tty->atomic_write_lock, whereas the workqueue
path takes ldata->output_lock.
We cannot simply take ldata->output_lock, since that is specific to the
N_TTY line discipline.
It might seem natural to try to take port->buf.lock inside
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() and friends (where port->buf is
actually used/modified), but this creates problems for flush_to_ldisc()
which takes it before grabbing tty->ldisc_sem, o_tty->termios_rwsem,
and ldata->output_lock.
Therefore, the simplest solution for now seems to be to take
tty->atomic_write_lock inside tty_port_default_receive_buf(). This lock
is also used in the write path [3] with a consistent ordering.
