[PATCH -next 3/3] tty: Flush tty buffers after hardware shutdown

[Peter Hurley]

The line discipline buffer and the tty buffers must be flushed again
after hardware shutdown; otherwise, a brief window exists between the
ldisc flush in tty_port_close_start() and the subsequent
tty_port_shutdown(), during which more data could be received into the
tty buffers. A racing open might then be able to receive data from the
previous session.
