tty: prevent DOS in the flush_to_ldisc

There's a small window inside the flush_to_ldisc function,
where the tty is unlocked and calling ldisc's receive_buf
function. If in this window new buffer is added to the tty,
the processing might never leave the flush_to_ldisc function.

This scenario will hog the cpu, causing other tty processing
starving, and making it impossible to interface the computer
via tty.

I was able to exploit this via pty interface by sending only
control characters to the master input, causing the flush_to_ldisc
to be scheduled, but never actually generate any output.

To reproduce, please run multiple instances of following code.

- SNIP
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int i, slave, master = getpt();
        char buf[8192];

        sprintf(buf, "%s", ptsname(master));
        grantpt(master);
        unlockpt(master);

        slave = open(buf, O_RDWR);
        if (slave < 0) {
                perror("open slave failed");
                return 1;
        }

        for(i = 0; i < sizeof(buf); i++)
                buf[i] = rand() % 32;

        while(1) {
                write(master, buf, sizeof(buf));
        }

        return 0;
}

The attached patch (based on -next tree) fixes this by checking on the
tty buffer tail. Once it's reached, the current work is rescheduled
and another could run.
