Subject: [PATCH 3.18 44/85] tty: Fix data race in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag

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

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

From: DaeRyong Jeong <threeearcat@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit b6da31b2c07c46f2dcad1d86caa835227a16d9ff ]

Unlike normal serials, in pty layer, there is no guarantee that multiple
threads don't insert input characters at the same time. If it is happened,
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag can be executed concurrently. This can
lead slab out-of-bounds write in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag.

Call sequences are as follows.
CPU0                                    CPU1
n_tty_ioctl_helper                      n_tty_ioctl_helper
__start_tty                             tty_send_xchar
tty_wakeup                              pty_write
n_hdlc_tty_wakeup                       tty_insert_flip_string
n_hdlc_send_frames                      tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag
pty_write
tty_insert_flip_string
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag

To fix the race, acquire port->lock in pty_write() before it inserts input
characters to tty buffer. It prevents multiple threads from inserting
input characters concurrently.

The crash log is as follows:
