n_tty: Separate buffer indices to prevent cache-line sharing
If the read buffer indices are in the same cache-line, cpus will
contended over the cache-line (so called 'false sharing').
Separate the producer-published fields from the consumer-published
fields; document the locks relevant to each field.
