tty: Serialize tty flow control changes with flow_lock
Without serialization, the flow control state can become inverted wrt. the actual hardware state. For example, CPU 0 | CPU 1 stop_tty() | lock ctrl_lock | tty->stopped = 1 | unlock ctrl_lock | | start_tty() | lock ctrl_lock | tty->stopped = 0 | unlock ctrl_lock | driver->start() driver->stop() | In this case, the flow control state now indicates the tty has been started, but the actual hardware state has actually been stopped. Introduce tty->flow_lock spinlock to serialize tty flow control changes. Split out unlocked __start_tty()/__stop_tty() flavors for use by ioctl(TCXONC) in follow-on patch.
