n_tty: Fix signal handling flushes

BRKINT and ISIG requires input and output flush when a signal char
is received. However, the order of operations is significant since
parallel i/o may be ongoing.

Merge the signal handling for BRKINT with ISIG handling.

Process the signal first. This ensures any ongoing i/o is aborted;
without this, a waiting writer may continue writing after the flush
occurs and after the signal char has been echoed.

Write lock the termios_rwsem, which excludes parallel writers from
pushing new i/o until after the output buffers are flushed; claiming
the write lock is necessary anyway to exclude parallel readers while
the read buffer is flushed.

Subclass the termios_rwsem for ptys since the slave pty performing
the flush may appear to reorder the termios_rwsem->tty buffer lock
lock order; adding annotation clarifies that
  slave tty_buffer lock-> slave termios_rwsem -> master tty_buffer lock
is a valid lock order.

Flush the echo buffer. In this context, the echo buffer is 'output'.
Otherwise, the output will appear discontinuous because the output buffer
was cleared which contains older output than the echo buffer.

Open-code the read buffer flush since the input worker does not need
kicking (this is the input worker).
