No tty driver modifies termios during throttle() or unthrottle().
Therefore, only read safety is required.
However, tty_throttle_safe and tty_unthrottle_safe must still be
mutually exclusive; introduce throttle_mutex for that purpose.

tty_perform_flush() can deadlock when called while holding
a line discipline reference. By definition, all ldisc drivers
hold a ldisc reference, so calls originating from ldisc drivers
must not block for a ldisc reference.
The deadlock can occur when:
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
tty_ldisc_ref(tty) |
.... | <line discipline halted>
tty_ldisc_ref_wait(tty) |
|
CPU 0 cannot progess because it cannot obtain an ldisc reference
with the line discipline has been halted (thus no new references
are granted).
CPU 1 cannot progress because an outstanding ldisc reference
has not been released.
An in-tree call-tree audit of tty_perform_flush() [1] shows 5
ldisc drivers calling tty_perform_flush() indirectly via
n_tty_ioctl_helper() and 2 ldisc drivers calling directly.
A single tty driver safely uses the function.

The tty driver can become stuck throttled due to race conditions
between throttle and unthrottle, when the decision to throttle
or unthrottle is conditional. The following example helps to
illustrate the race:
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
if (condition A) |
| <processing such that A not true>
| if (!condition A)
| unthrottle()
throttle() |
|
Note the converse is also possible; ie.,
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
| if (!condition A)
<processing such that A true> |
if (condition A) |
throttle() |
| unthrottle()
|
Add new throttle/unthrottle functions based on the familiar model
of task state and schedule/wake. For example,
while (1) {
tty_set_flow_change(tty, TTY_THROTTLE_SAFE);
if (!condition)
break;
if (!tty_throttle_safe(tty))
break;
}
__tty_set_flow_change(tty, 0);
In this example, if an unthrottle occurs after the condition is
evaluated but before tty_throttle_safe(), then tty_throttle_safe()
will return non-zero, looping and forcing the re-evaluation of
condition.

Regression commit 7b292b4bf9
Function reset_buffer_flags() also invoked during the ioctl(...,TCFLSH,..).
At the time of request we can have full buffers and throttled driver too.
If we don't unthrottle driver, we can get forever throttled driver, because,
after request, we will have empty buffers and throttled driver and
there is no place to unthrottle driver.
It simple reproduce with "pty" pair then one side sleep on tty->write_wait,
and other side do ioctl(...,TCFLSH,..). Then there is no place to do writers wake up.

This will let us sort out a whole pile of tty related races. The
alternative would be to keep points and refcount the termios objects.
However
1. They are tiny anyway
2. Many devices don't use the stored copies
3. We can remove a pty special case

When running a Fedora 15 (x86) on an x86_64 kernel, in the boot process
plymouthd complains about those two missing ioctls:
[ 2.581783] ioctl32(plymouthd:186): Unknown cmd fd(10) cmd(00005457){t:'T';sz:0} arg(ffb6a5d0) on /dev/tty1
[ 2.581803] ioctl32(plymouthd:186): Unknown cmd fd(10) cmd(00005456){t:'T';sz:0} arg(ffb6a680) on /dev/tty1
both ioctl functions work on the 'struct termios' resp. 'struct termios2',
which has the same size (36 bytes resp. 44 bytes) on x86 and x86_64,
so it's just a matter of converting the pointer from userland.

This basically encapsulates the small bit of locking knowledge needed. While
we are at it make sure we blow up on any more abusers and unsafe misuses of
ioctl for this kind of stuff.
We change the function to return an argument as at some point it needs to
honour the POSIX 'I asked for changes but got none of them' error reporting
corner case.
