Arnd Bergmann 979990c628 tty: improve tty_insert_flip_char() fast path
kernelci.org reports a crazy stack usage for the VT code when CONFIG_KASAN
is enabled:

drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c: In function 'kbd_keycode':
drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:1452:1: error: the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

The problem is that tty_insert_flip_char() gets inlined many times into
kbd_keycode(), and also into other functions, and each copy requires 128
bytes for stack redzone to check for a possible out-of-bounds access on
the 'ch' and 'flags' arguments that are passed into
tty_insert_flip_string_flags as a variable-length string.

This introduces a new __tty_insert_flip_char() function for the slow
path, which receives the two arguments by value. This completely avoids
the problem and the stack usage goes back down to around 100 bytes.

Without KASAN, this is also slightly better, as we don't have to
spill the arguments to the stack but can simply pass 'ch' and 'flag'
in registers, saving a few bytes in .text for each call site.

This should be backported to linux-4.0 or later, which first introduced
the stack sanitizer in the kernel.
