    pty: ensure writes hit the reader before close
    
    This is elegant in all the wrong ways. Put the pty into low latency mode (which
    we can do as we always post bytes from user context). The tty_flip_buffer_push
    then always calls into the ldisc which means we clear the ldisc buffer before
    we set the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED flag.
    
    Means pty has subtle knowledge of tty internals we really don't want it to, but
    it fixes the problem for the moment.
