The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of
unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading
to its breakage.
The previous patches fixed the crashing. This one reduces coupling further
by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method.
This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic,
and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the
ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

The "normal" spin lock that guards the N_TTY line discipline read section
is replaced by a raw spin lock.
On a PREEMP_RT system this prevents unwanted scheduling overhead when data is
read at the same time as data is being received: while RX IRQ threaded handling
is busy a TTY read call is performed from a RT priority > threaded IRQ priority.
The read call tries to take the read section spin lock (held by the threaded
IRQ) which blocks and causes a context switch to/from the threaded IRQ handler
until the spin lock is unlocked.

* BUG_ON(!tty) in n_tty_set_termios -- it cannot be called with tty ==
NULL. It is called from two call sites. First, from n_tty_open where
we have a valid tty. Second, as ld->ops->set_termios from
tty_set_termios. But there we have a valid tty too.
* if (!tty) in n_tty_open -- why would the TTY layer call ldisc's
open with an invalid TTY? No it indeed does not. All call sites have
a tty and dereference that.
* BUG_ON(!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_read -- this used to be a valid
check. The ldisc handling was broken some time ago when I added the
check to ensure everything is OK. It still can catch the case, but
no later than we move the buffer to ldisc data. Then there will be
no read_buf in tty_struct, i.e. nothing to check for.
* if (!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_receive_buf -- this should never
happen. All callers of ldisc->ops->receive_ops should hold a
reference to an ldisc and close (which frees read_buf) cannot be
called until the reference is dropped.
* if (WARN_ON(!tty->read_buf)) in n_tty_read -- the same as in the
previous case.

ldisc->open and close are called only once and cannot cross. So the
tests in open and close are superfluous. Remove them. (But leave sets
to NULL to ensure there is not a bug somewhere.)
And when the tests are gone, handle properly failures in open. We
leaked read_buf if allocation of echo_buf failed before. Now this is
not the case anymore.

When PARMRK is set and large transfers of characters that will get
marked are being received, n_tty could drop data silently (i.e.
without reporting any error to the client). This is because
characters have the potential to take up to three bytes in the line
discipline (when they get marked with parity or framing errors), but
the amount of free space reported to tty_buffer flush_to_ldisc (via
tty->receive_room) is based on the pre-marked data size.
With this patch, the n_tty layer will no longer assume that each byte
will only take up one byte in the line discipline. Instead, it will
make an overly conservative estimate that each byte will take up
three bytes in the line discipline when PARMRK is set.

copy_from_read_buf currently copies data to a user buffer and then
checks if the data is single EOF. But it checks it by accessing the
user buffer. First, the buffer may be changed by other threads of the
user program already. Second, it accesses the buffer without any
checks. It might be write-only for example.
Fix this by inspecting contents of the tty (kernel) buffer instead.
Note that "n == 1" is necessary, but not sufficient. But we check
later that there is nothing left by "!tty->read_cnt" condition.
There is still an issue with the current code that EOF being wrapped
to the start of the circular buffer will result in an inappropriate
losing of the EOF character. But this is not intended to be fixed by
this patch.
