This function is largely a duplicate of paste_selection() in
drivers/tty/vt/selection.c, but with its own selection state. The
speakup selection mechanism should really be merged with vt.
For now, apply the changes from 'TTY: vt, fix paste_selection ldisc
handling', 'tty: Make ldisc input flow control concurrency-friendly',
and 'tty: Fix unsafe vt paste_selection()'.
