[ Upstream commit 71a174b39f10b4b93223d374722aa894b5d8a82e ]
b6da31b2c07c "tty: Fix data race in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag"
puts tty_flip_buffer_push under port->lock introducing the following
possible circular locking dependency:

It looks like the commit was aimed to protect tty_insert_flip_string and
there is no need for tty_flip_buffer_push to be under this lock.
