[PATCH] tty: Fix crash with flush_to_ldisc()

[Michael Neuling]

When reiniting a tty we can end up with:

[  417.514499] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00002260

This is due to a NULL ptr dref of tty->disc_data in
tty_ldisc_receive_buf() called from flush_to_ldisc()

This fixes the issue by moving the disc_data read to after we take the
semaphore. Then when disc_data NULL returning 0 data processed rather
than dereferencing it.
