[PATCH] tty: hvc: wakeup hvc console immediately when needed

[li.hao40]

From: Li Hao <li.hao40@xxxxxxxxxx>

Cancel the do_wakeup flag in hvc_struct, and change it to immediately
wake up tty when hp->n_outbuf is 0 in hvc_push().

When we receive a key input character, the interrupt handling function
hvc_handle_interrupt() will be executed, and the echo thread
flush_to_ldisc() will be added to the queue.

If the user is currently using tcsetattr(), a hang may occur. tcsetattr()
enters kernel and waits for hp->n_outbuf to become 0 via
tty_wait_until_sent(). If the echo thread finishes executing before
reaching tty_wait_until_sent (for example, put_chars() takes too long),
it will cause while meeting the wakeup condition (hp->do_wakeup = 1),
tty_wait_until_sent() cannot be woken up (missed the tty_wakeup() of
this round&apos;s tty_poll). Unless the next key input character comes,
hvc_poll will be executed, and tty_wakeup() will be performed through
the do_wakeup flag.
