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.
