Hi all,

This patch adds memory barriers to the lock-less circular buffer in the n_tty
driver to fix the race condition described in [1] and [2] for SMP machines.

The patch is based on the instructions in Documentation/circular-buffers.txt.

Currently, this is only compile-tested. Peter, could you please have a look
at this and the documentation mentioned above, and tell me what you
think about this?

Prerequisites:
- The patch in [2]

Thanks!
Christian
