[PATCH 2/7] n_tty: fix throttling

[Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>]

n_tty inadevertently calls throttle and unthrottle methods during its init.
This happens before the tty device is open and causes problems for the
drivers, in particular they may not have their state and locks even
initialised at this point.
