[PATCH] Fix race condition in hvc console.
tty_schedule_flip() would schedule a thread that would call flush_to_ldisc().
If tty_buffer_request_room() gets called prior to that thread running --
which is likely in this loop in hvc_poll(), it would set the active flag
in the tty buffer and consequently flush_to_ldisc() would ignore it.
The result is that input on the hvc console is not processed.
This fix calls tty_flip_buffer_push (and flags the tty as
"low_latency"). The push to the ldisc thus happens synchronously.
