<title>n_tty: Use DIV_ROUND_UP() in room calculation</title>

<content type='text'>
When PARMRK is set, a character can result in up to 3 chars in the read
buffer. Receive code calculates for how many characters there (at
least) is room. Convert an opencoded rounding in the calculation to use
DIV_ROUND_UP().

Note: the room variable is decremented afterwards by one which ensures
the characters will fit into the buffer for real so the code is okay
despite rounding upwards.

<title>tty: Use flow-control char function on closing path</title>

<content type='text'>
Use n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl also on the closing path. This makes
the code cleaner and consistent.

However, there a small change of regression!

The earlier closing path has a small difference compared with the
normal receive path. If START_CHAR and STOP_CHAR are equal, their
precedence is different depending on which path a character is
processed. I don't know whether this difference was intentional or
not, and if equal START_CHAR and STOP_CHAR is actually used anywhere.
But it feels not so useful corner case.

While this change would logically belong to those earlier changes,
having a separate patch for this is useful. If this regresses, bisect
can pinpoint this change rather than the large patch. Also, this
change is not necessary to minimal fix for the issue addressed in
the previous patch.

<title>tty: Implement lookahead to process XON/XOFF timely</title>

<id>6bb6fa6908ebd3cb4e14cd4f0ce272ec885d2eb0</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Add a helper to check if the character is a flow control one. This

n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl() between n_tty_is_char_flow_ctrl() and
the actions taken on the flow control characters.
