[PATCH v2] tty: hold lock across tty buffer finding and bufferfilling

[Tu, Xiaobing]

From: Xiaobing Tu <xiaobing.tu@xxxxxxxxx>

tty_buffer_request_room is well protected, but while after it returns,
 it releases the port->lock. tty->buf.tail might be modified
by either irq handler or other threads. The patch adds more protection
by holding the lock across tty buffer finding and buffer filling.
