[PATCH] net/irda/ircomm_tty.c: Use flip buffers to deliver data

[Amit Virdi]

use tty_insert_flip_string and tty_flip_buffer_push to deliver incoming data
packets from the IrDA device instead of delivering the packets directly to the
line discipline. Following later approach resulted in warning "Sleeping function
called from invalid context".

Applied to net-next-2.6, thanks.
