Alan Cox 8077088449 n_tty: Fix echo race
If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state
where
	- echo characters are pending
	- FASYNC is enabled
	- tty_write_wakeup is called from either
		- a device write path (pty)
		- an IRQ (serial)

then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path.

On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to
go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters
pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using
emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up
this bug.

The code path is

	n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex)
	tty_io:tty_put_char()
	pty:pty_write  (or serial paths)
	tty_wakeup     (from pty_write or serial IRQ)
	n_tty_write_wakeup()
	process_echoes()
	*KABOOM*
