It would seem to be the

                if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&ldata->atomic_read_lock))

call in n_tty_read(), the offset is about right for a NULL 'ldata'
pointer (it's a big structure, it has a couple of character buffers of
size N_TTY_BUF_SIZE).

I don't see the obvious fix, so I suspect at this point we should just
revert, as that commit seems to introduce worse problems that it is
supposed to fix. Greg?
