Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] tty: Implement lookahead to process XON/XOFF timely

When tty is not read from, XON/XOFF may get stuck into an
intermediate buffer. As those characters are there to do software
flow-control, it is not very useful. In the case where neither end
reads from ttys, the receiving ends might not be able receive the
XOFF characters and just keep sending more data to the opposite
direction. This problem is almost guaranteed to occur with DMA
which sends data in large chunks.

If TTY is slow to process characters, that is, eats less than given
amount in receive_buf, invoke lookahead for the rest of the chars
to process potential XON/XOFF characters.

The guards necessary for ensuring the XON/XOFF character are
processed only once were added by the previous patch. All this patch
needs to do on that front is to pass the lookahead count (that can
now be non-zero) into port->client_ops->receive_buf().
