[PATCH] remove TTY_DONT_FLIP
Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag. This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels
to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and
n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time. 2.2.15 introduced
tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the
only state requiring protection between these two functions.
The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not
universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line
discipline receive_buf function.
Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is
not universally honored, it is removed.
