[PATCH] tty buffering stall fix
Prevent stalled processing of received data when a driver allocates tty buffer space but does not immediately follow the allocation with more data and a call to schedule receive tty processing. (example: hvc_console) This bug was introduced by the first locking patch for the new tty buffering.
