tty: Use lockless flip buffer free list

In preparation for lockless flip buffers, make the flip buffer
free list lockless.

NB: using llist is not the optimal solution, as the driver and
buffer work may contend over the llist head unnecessarily. However,
test measurements indicate this contention is low.
