Subject: [PATCH v2] tty: fix when iov_iter_count() returns 0 in tty_write()

syzbot found WARNING in iov_iter_revert[1] when iov_iter_count() returns 0,
therefore INT_MAX is passed to iov_iter_revert() causing > MAX_RW_COUNT
warning.

static inline ssize_t do_tty_write()
{
..
	size_t count = iov_iter_count(from);
..
		size_t size = count;
		if (ret != size)
			iov_iter_revert(from, size-ret);

[1] WARNING: lib/iov_iter.c:1090
Call Trace:
 do_tty_write drivers/tty/tty_io.c:967 [inline]
 file_tty_write.constprop.0+0x55f/0x8f0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1048

v2: Fixed "Fixed" tag to proper commit and changed write return to -EFAULT
as this statement is valid, tested via strace:

write(3, NULL, 0)                       = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

Updated to -EFAULT, should be a valid exit code as
copy_from_iter(.., .., from) returns -EFAULT as well if *from is invalid
address.

Thanks!
