Eugeniy Meshcheryakov 3ab36ab685 try harder to load tty ldisc driver
Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.

Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if
tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code.

I discovered this when my UMTS modem stopped working with 2.6.27-rc1
because module ppp_async was not loaded.
