[ 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:
