serdev: ttyport: add missing receive_buf sanity checks
The receive_buf tty-port callback should return the number of bytes accepted and must specifically never return a negative errno (or a value larger than the buffer size) to the tty layer. A serdev driver not providing a receive_buf callback would currently cause the flush_to_ldisc() worker to spin in a tight loop when the tty buffer pointers are incremented with -EINVAL (-22) after data has been received. A serdev driver occasionally returning a negative errno (or a too large byte count) could cause information leaks or crashes when accessing memory outside the tty buffers in consecutive callbacks.
