[PATCH][v2] tty: fix race between flush_to_ldisc and tty_open

From: Li RongQing
Date: Sun Dec 23 2018 - 21:44:20 EST


There still is a race window after the commit b027e2298bd588
("tty: fix data race between tty_init_dev and flush of buf"),
if receive_buf call comes before tty initialization completes
in n_tty_open and tty->driver_data may be NULL.

/*tty->driver_data is NULL*/
tty->ops->open
/*init tty->driver_data*/

Extending ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev to driver_data
initialized completely after tty->ops->open().
