commit 3d63b7e4ae0dc5e02d28ddd2fa1f945defc68d81 upstream.

syzbot is reporting stalls at n_tty_receive_char_special() [1]. This is
because comparison is not working as expected since ldata->read_head can
change at any moment. Mitigate this by explicitly masking with buffer size
when checking condition for "while" loops.
