Subject: [PATCH 3.10 43/55] Staging: speakup: Update __speakup_paste_selection() tty (ab)usage to match vt

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

commit 28a821c306889b9f2c3fff49abedc9b2c743eb73 upstream.

This function is largely a duplicate of paste_selection() in
drivers/tty/vt/selection.c, but with its own selection state.  The
speakup selection mechanism should really be merged with vt.

For now, apply the changes from 'TTY: vt, fix paste_selection ldisc
handling', 'tty: Make ldisc input flow control concurrency-friendly',
and 'tty: Fix unsafe vt paste_selection()'.

[bwh: Backported to 3.10:
 - Only apply the changes from 'TTY: vt, fix paste_selection ldisc handling'
 - Add the same FIXME comment as vt's paste_selection() has in this version]
