Yes.  Or, FWIW, I was thinking to delete schedule_delayed_work() for
n_tty with flag or something at previous time.  I.e. disable background
flush_to_ldisc() by writer for n_tty, only n_tty_read() will check
tty.buf synchronously.

So, with it, unnecessary flush_to_ldisc() is removed completely... Well...

Thanks.
