tty: fix data race between tty_init_dev and flush of buf 

commit b027e2298b upstream.

There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before
tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty->disc_data
may be NULL.

CPU0					CPU1
----					----
 000|n_tty_receive_buf_common()   	n_tty_open()
-001|n_tty_receive_buf2()		tty_ldisc_open.isra.3()
-002|tty_ldisc_receive_buf(inline)	tty_ldisc_setup()

Using ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev till disc_data
initializes completely.
