tty: Fix tty_send_xchar() lock order inversion
The correct lock order is atomic_write_lock => termios_rwsem, as established by tty_write() => n_tty_write(). Fixes: c274f6ef1c666 ("tty: Hold termios_rwsem for tcflow(TCIxxx)") Reported-and-Tested-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.18+ Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
