[PATCH][V5] tty: fix race between flush_to_ldisc and tty_open

[Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>]

There still is a race window after the commit b027e2298bd588
("tty: fix data race between tty_init_dev and flush of buf"),
and we encountered this crash issue if receive_buf call comes
before tty initialization completes in tty_open and
tty->driver_data may be NULL.

                                   /*init tty->driver_data*/

it can be fixed by extending ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev
to driver_data initialized completely after tty->ops->open(), but
this will lead to get lock on one function and unlock in some other
function, and hard to maintain, so fix this race only by checking
tty->driver_data when receiving, and return if tty->driver_data
is NULL, and n_tty_receive_buf_common maybe calls uart_unthrottle,
so add the same check

V5: move check into uart_start from n_tty_receive_buf_common
V4: add version information
V3: not used ldisc semaphore lock, only checking tty->driver_data with NULL
V2: fix building error by EXPORT_SYMBOL tty_ldisc_unlock
V1: extend ldisc lock to protect that tty->driver_data is inited
