tty: n_hdlc: make n_hdlc_tty_wakeup() asynchronous
syzbot is reporting that an unprivileged user who logged in from tty
console can crash the system using a reproducer shown below [1], for
n_hdlc_tty_wakeup() is synchronously calling n_hdlc_send_frames().
----------
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const int disc = 0xd;
ioctl(1, TIOCSETD, &disc);
while (1) {
ioctl(1, TCXONC, 0);
write(1, "", 1);
ioctl(1, TCXONC, 1); /* Kernel panic - not syncing: scheduling while atomic */
}
}
----------
Linus suspected that "struct tty_ldisc"->ops->write_wakeup() must not
sleep, and Jiri confirmed it from include/linux/tty_ldisc.h. Thus, defer
n_hdlc_send_frames() from n_hdlc_tty_wakeup() to a WQ context like
net/nfc/nci/uart.c does.
