This way all flush_to_ldisc work is always done through the workqueues,
and we thus have a single point of serialization.

We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as
Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?),
and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the
low_latency case.
So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed
to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or
the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to
be had.
This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer
(bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack
(commit 3a54297478: "pty: quickfix for the
pty ENXIO timing problems").

[ Modified to do the tty_flush_to_ldisc() inside input_available_p() so
that it triggers for both read and poll() - Linus]

The two are basically independent chunks of code so lets split them up for
readability and sanity. It also makes the API boundaries much clearer.
