Yes. We need a single buffer because the tty layer is not happy
when you accept no data. But we should be able to refuse subsequent
writes. Could you test this patch?

Subject: [PATCH] cdc-acm: fix consecutive writes while device is suspended

CDC-ACM needs to handle one attempt to write to a suspended
device because we told the tty layer that there is room.
A second attempt may and must fail or we drop data.
