Subject: [PATCH v2] tty: Fix lookahead_buf crash with serdev

Do not follow a NULL pointer if the tty_port_client_operations does not
implement the ->lookahead_buf() callback, which is the case with
serdev's ttyport.

Fixes: 6bb6fa6908ebd3 ("tty: Implement lookahead to process XON/XOFF timely")

Notes:
    v2: Move more stuff into if block.
