tty: n_tty: use uint for space returned by tty_write_room()
[ Upstream commit d97aa066 ] tty_write_room() returns an "unsigned int". So in case some insane driver (like my tty test driver) returns (legitimate) UINT_MAX from its tty_operations::write_room(), n_tty is confused on several places. For example, in process_output_block(), the result of tty_write_room() is stored into (signed) "int". So this UINT_MAX suddenly becomes -1. And that is extended to ssize_t and returned from process_output_block(). This causes a write() to such a node to receive -EPERM (which is -1). Fix that by using proper "unsigned int" and proper "== 0" test. And return 0 constant directly in that "if", so that it is immediately clear what is returned ("space" equals to 0 at that point). Similarly for process_output() and __process_echoes(). Note this does not fix any in-tree driver as of now. If you want "Fixes: something", it would be commit 03b3b1a2 ("tty: make tty_operations::write_room return uint"). I intentionally do not mark this patch by a real tag below.
