From: Gaurav Kohli gkohli@codeaurora.org
commit b027e2298bd588d6fa36ed2eda97447fb3eac078 upstream.
There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty->disc_data may be NULL.
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- 000|n_tty_receive_buf_common() n_tty_open() -001|n_tty_receive_buf2() tty_ldisc_open.isra.3() -002|tty_ldisc_receive_buf(inline) tty_ldisc_setup()
Using ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev till disc_data initializes completely.
