mainlining shenanigans

When tty is not read from, XON/XOFF may get stuck into an intermediate buffer. As those characters are there to do software flow-control, it is not very useful. In the case where neither end reads from ttys, the receiving ends might not be able receive the XOFF characters and just keep sending more data to the opposite direction. This problem is almost guaranteed to occur with DMA which sends data in large chunks. If TTY is slow to process characters, that is, eats less than given amount in receive_buf, invoke lookahead for the rest of the chars to process potential XON/XOFF characters. We need to keep track of how many characters have been processed by the lookahead to avoid processing the flow control char again on the normal path. Bookkeeping occurs parallel on two layers (tty_buffer and n_tty) to avoid passing the lookahead_count through the whole call chain. When a flow-control char is processed, two things must occur: a) it must not be treated as normal char b) if not yet processed, flow-control actions need to be taken The return value of n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl() tells caller a), and b) is kept internal to n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl(). If characters were previous looked ahead, __receive_buf() makes two calls to the appropriate n_tty_receive_buf_* function. First call is made with lookahead_done=true for the characters that were subject to lookahead earlier and then with lookahead=false for the new characters. Either of the calls might be skipped when it has no characters to handle.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
