[PATCH] tty buffering stall fix

Prevent stalled processing of received data when a driver allocates tty
buffer space but does not immediately follow the allocation with more data
and a call to schedule receive tty processing.  (example: hvc_console) This
bug was introduced by the first locking patch for the new tty buffering.
