The struct tty_buffer has flags which is only used for storing TTYB_NORMAL. There is also a few quite confusing operations for checking the presense of TTYB_NORMAL. Simplify things by converting flags to bool. Despite the name remaining the same, the meaning of "flags" is altered slightly by this change. Previously it referred to flags of the buffer (only TTYB_NORMAL being used as a flag). After this change, flags tell whether the buffer contains/should be allocated with flags array along with character data array. It is much more suitable name that TTYB_NORMAL was for this purpose, thus the name remains.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
