SubjectRe: [PATCH 16/16] tty: drop tty_flip_buffer_push

I still prefer keeping tty_flip_buffer_push() since it's name is much
more descriptive and since it's used by almost all drivers.

There's also no good reason to force developers to relearn the insert +
push pattern either (and rewriting the documentation and books that
describe it).
