I agree with Jiri that placing all the conditional logic in a single expression is difficult to read.

But exchanging that many locals with a separate function defeats the original purpose of
simplifying code and this implementation changes the logic (write no
longer checks for line discipline changing under it during wait).

Converting to wait_event_interruptible where possible is a good goal but this instance
may be better left alone. The current structure mirrors the existing n_tty line discipline.
