[PATCH 02/16] tty: Fix flip buffer free list

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Mon Apr 15 2013 - 11:26:36 EST


Since flip buffers are size-aligned to 256 bytes and all flip
buffers 512-bytes or larger are not added to the free list, the
free list only contains 256-byte flip buffers.

Remove the list search when allocating a new flip buffer.
