[PATCH v2] pty: do tty_flip_buffer_push without port->lock in pty_write

[Artem Savkov <asavkov@redhat.com>]

b6da31b2c07c "tty: Fix data race in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag"
puts tty_flip_buffer_push under port->lock introducing the following
possible circular locking dependency:

It looks like the commit was aimed to protect tty_insert_flip_string and
there is no need for tty_flip_buffer_push to be under this lock.
