it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of
bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts
the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes
on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB
serial gadget driver.

These were missed the last time I cleaned this up
globally, because of code moving around or new code
getting merged.

Fix locking in read and write code of n_hdlc line discipline.
2.6.36 replaced lock_kernel() with tty_lock(). The tty mutex is not
dropped automatically when the thread sleeps like the BKL. This results
in a blocked read or write holding the tty mutex and stalling operations
by other devices that use the tty mutex.
A review of n_hdlc read and write code shows:
1. neither BKL or tty mutex are required for correct operation
2. read can block while read data is available if data is posted
between availability check and call to interruptible_sleep_on()
3. write does not set process state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
on each pass through the processing loop which can cause
unneeded scheduling of the thread
The unnecessary tty mutex references have been removed.
Read changed to use same code as n_tty read
for completing reads and blocking.
Write corrected to set process state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE on each pass
through processing loop.

The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char
driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
