tty: fix __tty_insert_flip_char regression
commit 8a5a90a2a477b86a3dc2eaa5a706db9bfdd647ca upstream.
Sergey noticed a small but fatal mistake in __tty_insert_flip_char,
leading to an oops in an interrupt handler when using any serial
port.
The problem is that I accidentally took the tty_buffer pointer
before calling __tty_buffer_request_room(), which replaces the
buffer. This moves the pointer lookup to the right place after
allocating the new buffer space.
Fixes: 979990c62848 ("tty: improve tty_insert_flip_char() fast path")
