Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 022/218] tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc(), part 2

4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

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

commit f33798deecbd59a2955f40ac0ae2bc7dff54c069 upstream.

commit 9ce119f318ba ("tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc()") fixed a
GPF caused by a line discipline which does not define a receive_buf()
method.

However, the vt driver (and speakup driver also) pushes selection
data directly to the line discipline receive_buf() method via
tty_ldisc_receive_buf(). Fix the same problem in tty_ldisc_receive_buf().
