USB: serial gadget: rx path data loss fixes
Update RX path handling in new serial gadget code to cope better with
RX blockage: queue every RX packet until its contents can safely be
passed up to the ldisc. Most of the RX path work is now done in the
RX tasklet, instead of just the final "push to ldisc" step. This
addresses some cases of data loss:
- A longstanding serial gadget bug: when tty_insert_flip_string()
didn't copy the entire buffer, the rest of the characters were
dropped! Now that packet stays queued until the rest of its data
is pushed to the ldisc.
- Another longstanding issue: in the unlikely case that an RX
transfer returns data and also reports a fault, that data is
no longer discarded.
- In the recently added RX throttling logic: it needs to stop
pushing data into the TTY layer, instead of just not submitting
new USB read requests. When the TTY is throttled long enough,
backpressure will eventually make the OUT endpoint NAK.
Also: an #ifdef is removed (no longer necessary); and start switching
to a better convention for debug messages (prefix them with tty name).
