tty: Implement lookahead to process XON/XOFF timely

When tty is not read from, XON/XOFF may get stuck into an
intermediate buffer. As those characters are there to do software
flow-control, it is not very useful. In the case where neither end
reads from ttys, the receiving ends might not be able receive the
XOFF characters and just keep sending more data to the opposite
direction. This problem is almost guaranteed to occur with DMA
which sends data in large chunks.

If TTY is slow to process characters, that is, eats less than given
amount in receive_buf, invoke lookahead for the rest of the chars
to process potential XON/XOFF characters.

We need to keep track of how many characters have been processed by the
lookahead to avoid processing the flow control char again on the normal
path. Bookkeeping occurs parallel on two layers (tty_buffer and n_tty)
to avoid passing the lookahead_count through the whole call chain.

When a flow-control char is processed, two things must occur:
a) it must not be treated as normal char
b) if not yet processed, flow-control actions need to be taken
The return value of n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl() tells caller a), and
b) is kept internal to n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl().

If characters were previous looked ahead, __receive_buf() makes two
calls to the appropriate n_tty_receive_buf_* function. First call is
made with lookahead_done=true for the characters that were subject to
lookahead earlier and then with lookahead=false for the new characters.
Either of the calls might be skipped when it has no characters to
handle.

The tty line discipline .read() function was passed the final user

ttys.

This is a conversion to use a kernel buffer instead.

NOTE! It does this by passing the tty line discipline ->read() function
an additional "cookie" to fill in, and an offset into the cookie data.

The line discipline can fill in the cookie data with its own private
information, and then the reader will repeat the read until either the
cookie is cleared or it runs out of data.

The only real user of this is N_HDLC, which can use this to handle big
packets, even if the kernel buffer is smaller than the whole packet.

change semantics of ldisc ->compat_ioctl()

First of all, make it return int. Returning long when native method
had never allowed that is ridiculous and inconvenient.

More importantly, change the caller; if ldisc ->compat_ioctl() is NULL
or returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, tty_compat_ioctl() will try to feed cmd and
compat_ptr(arg) to ldisc's native ->ioctl().

That simplifies ->compat_ioctl() instances quite a bit - they only
need to deal with ioctls that are neither generic tty ones (those
would get shunted off to tty_ioctl()) nor simple compat pointer ones.

Note that something like TCFLSH won't reach ->compat_ioctl(),
even if ldisc ->ioctl() does handle it - it will be recognized
earlier and passed to tty_ioctl() (and ultimately - ldisc ->ioctl()).

For many ldiscs it means that NULL ->compat_ioctl() does the
right thing. Those where it won't serve (see e.g. n_r3964.c) are
also easily dealt with - we need to handle the numeric-argument
ioctls (calling the native instance) and, if such would exist,
the ioctls that need layout conversion, etc.

All in-tree ldiscs dealt with.

atomic/tty: Fix up atomic abuse in ldsem

Mark found ldsem_cmpxchg() needed an (atomic_long_t *) cast to keep
working after making the atomic_long interface type safe.

Needing casts is bad form, which made me look at the code. There are no
ld_semaphore::count users outside of these functions so there is no
reason why it can not be an atomic_long_t in the first place, obviating
the need for this cast.

That also ensures the loads use atomic_long_read(), which implies (at
least) READ_ONCE() in order to guarantee single-copy-atomic loads.

When using atomic_long_try_cmpxchg() the ldsem_cmpxchg() wrapper gets
very thin (the only difference is not changing *old on success, which
most callers don't seem to care about).

So rework the whole thing to use atomic_long_t and its accessors
directly.

While there, fixup all the horrible comment styles.

->poll() methods should return __poll_t

The most common place to find POLL... bitmaps: return values
of ->poll() and its subsystem counterparts.
