3.4.113-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
commit 9ce119f318ba1a07c29149301f1544b6c4bea52a upstream.
A line discipline which does not define a receive_buf() method can
can cause a GPF if data is ever received [1]. Oddly, this was known
to the author of n_tracesink in 2011, but never fixed.
