tty: protect tty_write from odd low-level tty disciplines
Al root-caused a new warning from syzbot to the ttyprintk tty driver returning a write count larger than the data the tty layer actually gave it. Which confused the tty write code mightily, and with the new iov_iter based code, caused a WARNING in iov_iter_revert(). syzbot correctly bisected the source of the new warning to commit 9bb48c82 ("tty: implement write_iter"), but the oddity goes back much further, it just didn't get caught by anything before.
