According to the upstream BZ 1094232, there is a patch from kernel.org:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git/commit/?h=tty-linus&id=4291086b1f081b869c6d79e5b7441633dc3ace00

The file to patch in the RHEL/CentOS kernel seems to be drivers/char/n_tty.c

If the next kernel update does not have the fix, I can add it to the
centosplus kernel.
