n_tty: Fix unordered accesses to lockless read buffer Add commit_head buffer index, which the producer-side publishes after input processing in non-canon mode. This ensures the consumer-side observes correctly-ordered writes in non-canonical mode (ie., the buffer data is written before the buffer index is advanced). Fix consumer-side uses of read_cnt() to use commit_head instead. Add required memory barriers to the tail index to guarantee the consumer-side has completed the loads before the producer-side begins writing new data. Open-code the producer-side receive_room() into the i/o loop. Remove no-longer-referenced receive_room().
