Subject: [PATCH 3.14 62/76] tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc()

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

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

From: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>

commit 9ce119f318ba1a07c29149301f1544b6c4bea52a upstream.

A line discipline which does not define a receive_buf() method can
can cause a GPF if data is ever received [1]. Oddly, this was known
to the author of n_tracesink in 2011, but never fixed.
