tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
commit 9ce119f upstream.

A line discipline which does not define a receive_buf() method can
can cause a GPF if data is ever received [1]. Oddly, this was known
to the author of n_tracesink in 2011, but never fixed.
