I also tested this patch, and it seems to work in some case. However, in
some case, n_tty_read() didn't return -EIO for read() of master.

This seems typo s/ENDPENDING/EOFPENDING/

	tty_flip_buffer_push() or something?

It seems, this sets TTY_EOFPENDING, but if flush_to_ldisc() was done
already here, anybody doesn't set TTY_EOF for master.

Thanks.
