tty: Fix logic change introduced by wait_event_interruptible_timeout() Commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8 introduced a subtle logic change in tty_wait_until_sent(). The original version would only error out of the 'do { ... } while (timeout)' loop if signal_pending() evaluated to true; a timeout or break due to an empty buffer would fall out of the loop and into the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling. The current implementation will error out on either a pending signal or an empty buffer, falling through to the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling only on a timeout.
This change reverts the logic flow in tty_wait_until_sent() to match that prior to the aforementioned commit. Signed-off-by: Cory T.
