[PATCH] tty: Simplify tty_set_ldisc() exit handling

[PATCH] tty: Simplify tty_set_ldisc() exit handling

[Peter Hurley]

Perform common exit for both successful and error exit handling
in tty_set_ldisc(). Fixes unlikely possibility of failing to restart
input kworker when switching to the same line discipline (noop case).
