tty: fix data race in flush_to_ldisc
flush_to_ldisc reads port->itty and checks that it is not NULL, concurrently release_tty sets port->itty to NULL. It is possible that flush_to_ldisc loads port->itty once, ensures that it is not NULL, but then reloads it again and uses. The second load can already return NULL, which will cause a crash. Use READ_ONCE to read port->itty. The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN).
