Previously, though readahead buffer handling in pty master was not
fully thread-safe, accept_input() was called from peek_pipe() thread
in select.cc. This caused the problem reported in:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-July/253984.html
The mechanism of the problem is:
1) accept_input() which is called from peek_pipe() thread calls
eat_readahead(-1) before reading readahead buffer. This allows
writing to the readahead buffer from another (main) thread.
2) The main thread calls fhandler_pty_master::write() just after
eat_readahead(-1) was called and before reading the readahead
buffer by accept_input() called from peek_pipe() thread. This
overwrites the readahead buffer.
3) The read result from readahead buffer which was overwritten is
sent to the slave.
This patch makes readahead buffer handling fully thread-safe using
input_mutex to resolve this issue.
Fixes: 7b03b0d8ce ("select.cc (peek_pipe): Call flush_to_slave whenever we're checking for a pty master.")
