tty: Flush ldisc buffer atomically with tty flip buffers
tty_ldisc_flush() first clears the line discipline input buffer, then clears the tty flip buffers. However, this allows for existing data in the tty flip buffers to be added after the ldisc input buffer has been cleared, but before the flip buffers have been cleared. Add an optional ldisc parameter to tty_buffer_flush() to allow tty_ldisc_flush() to pass the ldisc to clear. NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in tty_buffer_flush(). However, an audit of the behavior of existing line disciplines showed that performing a ldisc buffer flush on ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line disciplines have flush_buffer() methods but not ioctl() methods, so a ->flush_buffer() command would be unexpected.
