[PATCH] remove TTY_DONT_FLIP

Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag.  This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels
to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and
n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time.  2.2.15 introduced
tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the
only state requiring protection between these two functions.

The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not
universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line
discipline receive_buf function.

Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is
not universally honored, it is removed.
