[PATCH v2] tty: vt: selection: fix soft lockup in paste_selection()

[Yi Yang]

Soft lockup occurs when vt device used n_null ldisc, n_null_receivebuf()
is not implemented in null_ldisc. So tty_ldisc_receive_buf always return
0 in paste_selection(), this cause deadloop and cause soft lockup.

This can be reproduced as follows:
  int ldisc = 0x1b; // 0x1b is n_null
  struct{
  	char subcode;
  	struct tiocl_selection sel;
  } data;
  date.subcode = TIOCL_SETSEL;
  data.sel.xs = 0;
  data.sel.xe = 1;
  data.sel.ys = 0;
  data.sel.ye = 1;
  data.sel.sel_mode = TIOCL_SELCHAR;
  char bytes[2] = {TIOCL_PASTESEL, 0};
  open("ttyxx", O_RDWR) // open a vt device
  ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc) // set ldisc to n_null
  ioctl(fd, TIOCLINUX, &data.subcode);
  ioctl(fd, TIOCLINUX, bytes); // cause deadloop

Fix soft lockup by check receive_buf() and receive_buf2() is NULL.
