Subject: [PATCH 2/3] tty: fix termios input-speed encoding when using BOTHER

When the termios CIBAUD bits are left unset (i.e. B0), we use the same
output and input speed and should leave CIBAUD unchanged.

When the user requests a rate using BOTHER and c_ospeed which the driver
cannot set exactly, the driver can report back the actual baud rate
using tty_termios_encode_baud_rate(). If this rate is close enough to a
standard rate however, we could end up setting CIBAUD to a Bfoo value
despite the user having left it unset.

This in turn could lead to an unexpected input rate being set on
subsequent termios updates.

Fix this by using a zero tolerance value also for the input rate when
CIBAUD is clear so that the matching logic works as expected.
