staging: speakup: add send_xchar, tiocmset and input functionality for tty

This patch adds further TTY-based functionality, specifically implementation
of send_xchar and tiocmset methods, and input. send_xchar and tiocmset
methods simply delegate to corresponding TTY operations.

For input, it implements the receive_buf2 callback in tty_ldisc_ops of
speakup's ldisc. If a synth defines read_buff_add method then receive_buf2
simply delegates to that and returns.

For spk_ttyio_in, the data is passed from receive_buf2 thread to
spk_ttyio_in thread through spk_ldisc_data structure. It has following
members:

- char buf: represents data received
- struct semaphore sem: used to signal to spk_ttyio_in thread that data
	is available to be read without having to busy wait
- bool buf_free: this is used in comination with mb() calls to syncronise
	the two threads over buf

receive_buf2 only writes to buf if buf_free is true. The check for buf_free
and writing to buf are separated by mb() to ensure that spk_ttyio_in has read
buf before receive_buf2 writes to it. After writing, it ups the semaphore to
signal to spk_ttyio_in that there is now data to read.

spk_ttyio_in waits for data to read by downing the semaphore. Thus when
signalled by receive_buf2 thread above, it reads from buf and sets buf_free
to true. These two operations are separated by mb() to ensure that
receive_buf2 thread finds buf_free to be true only after buf has been read.
After that spk_ttyio_in calls tty_schedule_flip for subsequent data to come
in through receive_buf2.
