tty_set_ldisc() receive_room fix
Fix tty_set_ldisc in tty_io.c so that tty->receive_room is only cleared if
actually changing line disciplines.
Without this fix a problem occurs when requesting the line discipline to
change to the same line discipline. In this case tty->receive_room is
cleared but ldisc->open() is not called to set tty->receive_room back to a
sane value. The result is that tty->receive_room is stuck at 0 preventing
the tty flip buffer from passing receive data to the line discipline.
For example: a switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a select() call for
read input results in data never being received because tty->receive_room
is stuck at zero.
A switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a read() call works because the
read() call itself sets tty->receive_room correctly (but select does not).
Previously (< 2.6.18) this was not a problem because the tty flip buffer
pushed data to the line discipline without regard for tty->receive room.
