Subject: tty: GPF in n_tty_receive_buf_common

Hello,

I've got a GPF after booting kernel and trying to ssh:

kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled
kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access

I can reproduce it by doing ssh/exit several dozens of times.

The crash happens in n_tty_receive_buf_common on this line:
size_t tail = smp_load_acquire(&ldata->read_tail);

This is with CONFIG_KASAN. Faulting address divided by 8 is RAX=44c.
So the access was done to address 8800. n_tty_data struct is large, so
it means that ldata == NULL.

On commit 00bf377d19ad3d80cbc7a036521279a86e397bfb (Jun 27).
