[PATCH 2/3] tty: n_hdlc: fix read() hangup race

[Johan Hovold]

Make sure to set the task state before checking the break conditions in
the read() wait loop to avoid missing a racing wakeup.

Note that before commit c96cf923a98d ("tty: Don't block on IO when ldisc
change is pending") a racing task hanging up the tty could get stuck in
uninterruptible sleep when there are blocked readers, but since then
read() incorrectly returns -EAGAIN instead.

The false-positive stuck hangup issue was flagged by an LLM.

Fixes: 1035b63d3c6f ("n_hdlc: fix read and write locking")
