Subject: [PATCH] n_tty: signal and flush atomically

When handling signalling char, claim the termios write lock before
signalling waiting readers and writers to prevent further i/o
before flushing the echo and output buffers. This prevents a
userspace signal handler which may output from racing the terminal
flush.

Reference: Bugzilla #99351 ("Output truncated in ssh session after...")
Fixes: commit d2b6f44779d3 ("n_tty: Fix signal handling flushes")
