Subject: [PATCH 4.20 45/76] tun: fix blocking read

4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Timur Celik <mail@...urcelik.de>

[ Upstream commit 71828b2240692cec0e68b8d867bc00e1745e7fae ]

This patch moves setting of the current state into the loop. Otherwise
the task may end up in a busy wait loop if none of the break conditions
are met.
