commit_head is now the observable producer-side buffer index when
termios is !icanon || L_EXTPROC mode.

Can keep read_cnt(). Will continue to be used in several places. See
other comments.

Producer-side receive_room() needs to be special-cased for the
call from the n_tty_receive_buf_common() i/o loop, because the
read_tail access needs to be:

        size_t tail = smp_load_acquire(ldata->read_tail);

Paired with the consumer-side smp_store_release(read_tail), will
guarantee that the consumer has finished loading from the
read_buf before the producer may overwrite that data.

The producer-side receive_room() doesn't need the ACCESS_ONCE()s because
the commit_head and canon_head are only modified by itself (as the
producer).

The consumer-side receive_room() doesn't need the ACCESS_ONCE()s either.
At least one compiler barrier is passed through on each loop in
n_tty_read(), and at least once before starting the loop.

Existing compiler barriers in the consumer-side i/o loop make
these ACCESS_ONCE()s unnecessary (as with receive_room() and 
input_available_p()).

I intend to remove the wake_up (along with the comment changes above)
rather than add the publish.

It turns out that the wake_up cannot cause a userspace observable change,
that the wake_up() in __receive_buf() would not also guarantee.

Analysis:

Case 1) ICANON == true && L_EXTPROC == 0

        The canon_head has not advanced because there is no newline so
        input_available_p() is false for both n_tty_read() and n_tty_poll(),
        so nothing happens.

Case 2) ICANON == true && L_EXTPROC != 0

        The wake_up in __receive_buf() still happens when the input block
        finishes processing, which is an insignificant delay.

Case 3) ICANON == false and the following matrix applies:

        MIN_CHAR == 0             |          MIN_CHAR == 0
        TIME_CHAR != 0            |          TIME_CHAR == 0
                                  |
     minimum_to_wake => 1         |       minimum_to_wake => 1
                                  |
    ##  same as Case 2  ##        |      ##  same as Case 2  ##
                                  |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  |
        MIN_CHAR != 0             |          MIN_CHAR != 0
        TIME_CHAR != 0            |          TIME_CHAR == 0
                                  |
     minimum_to_wake => 1         |     minimum_to_wake => MIN_CHAR()
                                  |
    ##  same as Case 2  ##        |        ##  see below  ##
                                  |

When MIN_CHAR != 0 && TIME_CHAR == 0, input_available_p() is false when
called from n_tty_poll() until minimum_to_wake # of chars has accumulated,
which is the same condition under which the wake_up will occur in 
__receive_buf().

Similarly, although input_available_p() is true when called from n_tty_read(),
the reader i/o loop will not return the buffer back to userspace until
minimum_to_wake # of chars has accumulated, which is the same condition under 
which
the wake_up will occur in __receive_buf().

Forcing the compiler to load from memory is not necessary here
since the read_tail will be loaded on each loop through
producer_side receive_room().

ACCESS_ONCE(read_tail) is not required since the smp_store_release() is a
compiler barrier, so there can be no local cache of ldata->read_tail for
the compiler to skip loading read_tail.

At this point, the read_head == commit_head on this cpu so read_cnt() is
equivalent.

None of this is necessary because read_head == commit_head when the 
termios_rwsem
is write locked (as is the case here).

Unnecessary. At least one compiler barrier has been passed through to get here,
either by looping or first time.

The ACCESS_ONCE() is not required, for the same reason as above.
But using commit_head instead of read_head is required, so this should be:

                return ldata->commit_head - ldata->read_tail >= amt;

Absolutely required. Ensures that the read_buf data has actually been loaded
by this cpu before the other cpu running the producer side can observe the
read_tail advancing and overwriting the read_buf data.

Required since commit_head is now the observed producer buffer index
(instead of read_head).

Absolutely required to guarantee the buffer data has been written by the
producer. Keep.
