[PATCH] tty: n_tty: convert the full VTIME interval to jiffies

[Hungyu Lin]

VTIME specifies a timeout in tenths of a second, but n_tty_read() divides
HZ by 10 before multiplying by VTIME. For supported HZ values that are
not divisible by 10, this truncates each decisecond and shortens the
requested interval. For example, HZ=128 and VTIME=40 produce 480 ticks
instead of 512 ticks for four seconds.

Convert the full interval to milliseconds before calling
msecs_to_jiffies(), for both the read and inter-byte timeouts. This
preserves zero VTIME and avoids accumulating the initial division's
rounding loss.
