tty: Fix logic change introduced by wait_event_interruptible_timeout()

Commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8 introduced a subtle logic
change in tty_wait_until_sent().  The original version would only error
out of the 'do { ... } while (timeout)' loop if signal_pending() evaluated
to true; a timeout or break due to an empty buffer would fall out of the
loop and into the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling.  The current
implementation will error out on either a pending signal or an empty
buffer, falling through to the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling
only on a timeout.

This change reverts the logic flow in tty_wait_until_sent() to match that
prior to the aforementioned commit.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design.  One way is to
 make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the
 other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious
 deficiencies."  --Sir Charles Anthony Richard Hoare
