n_tty_read() contains "we need more data" handling deep in that
function. And there is also a label (more_to_be_read) as we handle this
situation from two places.
It makes more sense to have all "return"s accumulated at the end of
functions. And "goto" from multiple places there. Therefore, do this
with the "more_to_be_read" label in n_tty_read().
After this and the previous changes, n_tty_read() is now much more
easier to follow.

* Use guard(mutex), which results in:
- the function can return directly when "space == 0".
- "i" can now be "unsigned" as it is no longer abused to hold a retval
from tty->ops->write(). Note the compared-to "nr" is already
"unsigned".
* The end label is now dubbed "do_write" as that is what happens there.
Unlike the uncertain "break_out" name.

tty_write_room() returns an "unsigned int". So in case some insane
driver (like my tty test driver) returns (legitimate) UINT_MAX from its
tty_operations::write_room(), n_tty is confused on several places.
For example, in process_output_block(), the result of tty_write_room()
is stored into (signed) "int". So this UINT_MAX suddenly becomes -1. And
that is extended to ssize_t and returned from process_output_block().
This causes a write() to such a node to receive -EPERM (which is -1).
Fix that by using proper "unsigned int" and proper "== 0" test. And
return 0 constant directly in that "if", so that it is immediately clear
what is returned ("space" equals to 0 at that point).
Similarly for process_output() and __process_echoes().
Note this does not fix any in-tree driver as of now.
If you want "Fixes: something", it would be commit 03b3b1a240 ("tty:
make tty_operations::write_room return uint"). I intentionally do not
mark this patch by a real tag below.

"N_TTY_BUF_SIZE" is private to n_tty and shall not be exposed to the
world. Definitely not in tty.h somewhere in the middle of "struct
tty_struct".
This is a remnant of moving "read_flags" to "struct n_tty_data" in
commit 3fe780b379 ("TTY: move ldisc data from tty_struct: bitmaps").
But some cleanup was needed first (in previous patches).

In n_tty_read(), there is a separate int variable 'c' and is used only
to hold an int value returned from job_control(). There is also a
'retval' variable typed ssize_t. So drop this single occurrence of 'c'
and reuse 'retval' which is used on all other places to hold the value
returned from n_tty_read().
Note that 'retval' needs not be initialized now. Drop that.

Some count types are already 'size_t' for a long time. Some were
switched to 'size_t' recently. Unify the rest with those now.
This allows for some min_t()s to become min()s. And make one min()
an explicit min_t() as we are comparing signed 'room' to unsigned
'count'.
