pty, n_tty: Simplify input processing on final close
When releasing one end of a pty pair, that end may just have written
to the other, which the input processing worker, flush_to_ldisc(), is
still working on but has not completed the copy to the other end's
read buffer. So input may not appear to be available to a waiting
reader but yet TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is now observed. The n_tty line
discipline has worked around this by waiting for input processing
to complete and then re-checking if input is available before
exiting with -EIO.
Since the tty/ldisc lock reordering, the wait for input processing
to complete can now occur during final close before setting
TTY_OTHER_CLOSED. In this way, a waiting reader is guaranteed to
see input available (if any) before observing TTY_OTHER_CLOSED.
