[PATCH 3.16 209/366] n_tty: Fix stall at n_tty_receive_char_special().

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3d63b7e4ae0dc5e02d28ddd2fa1f945defc68d81 upstream.

syzbot is reporting stalls at n_tty_receive_char_special() [1]. This is
because comparison is not working as expected since ldata->read_head can
change at any moment. Mitigate this by explicitly masking with buffer size
when checking condition for "while" loops.
