Adding data to echo_buf (via add_echo_byte()) is guaranteed to be single-threaded, since all callers are from the n_tty_receive_buf() path. Processing the echo_buf can be called from either the n_tty_receive_buf() path or the n_tty_write() path; however, these callers are already serialized by output_lock. Publish cumulative echo_head changes to echo_commit; process echo_buf from echo_tail to echo_commit; remove echo_lock. On echo_buf overrun, claim output_lock to serialize changes to echo_tail.
