[Xenial][PATCH 1/7] tty: Simplify tty_set_ldisc() exit handling

[Kamal Mostafa]

From: Peter Hurley <peter at hurleysoftware.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1709126

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).
