Subject: n_tty: signal and flush atomically

From: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com>

commit 3b19e032295647b7be2aa3be62510db4aaeda759 upstream.

When handling signalling char, claim the termios write lock before
signalling waiting readers and writers to prevent further i/o
before flushing the echo and output buffers. This prevents a
userspace signal handler which may output from racing the terminal
flush.

Reference: Bugzilla #99351 ("Output truncated in ssh session after...")
Fixes: commit d2b6f44779d3 ("n_tty: Fix signal handling flushes")
