tty: Fix missed wakeup from packet mode status update
The pty master read() can miss the wake up for a packet mode
status change. For example,
CPU 0 | CPU 1
n_tty_read() | n_tty_packet_mode_flush()
... | .
if (packet & link->ctrl_status) { | .
/* no new ctrl_status ATM */ | .
| spin_lock
| ctrl_status |= TIOCPKT_FLUSHREAD
| spin_unlock
| wake_up(link->read_wait)
} |
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) |
... |
The pty master read() will now sleep (assuming there is no input) having
missed the read_wait wakeup.
Set the task state before the condition test.
