Subject: [PATCH 13/16] tty: Use non-atomic state to signal flip buffer flush pending

Atomic bit ops are no longer required to indicate a flip buffer
flush is pending, as the flush_mutex is sufficient barrier.

Remove the unnecessary port .iflags field and localize flip buffer
state to struct tty_bufhead.
