n_tty: Fix unsafe update of available buffer space
receive_room is used to control the amount of data the flip buffer work can push to the read buffer. This update is unsafe: CPU 0 | CPU 1 | | n_tty_read() | n_tty_set_room() | left = <calc of space> n_tty_receive_buf() | <push data to buffer> | n_tty_set_room() | left = <calc of space> | tty->receive_room = left | | tty->receive_room = left receive_room is now updated with a stale calculation of the available buffer space, and the subsequent work loop will likely overwrite unread data in the input buffer. Update receive_room atomically with the calculation of the available buffer space.
