Subject: [PATCH 06/10] tty: tty_buffer: let tty_prepare_flip_string() return size_t
The same as in the previous patch, tty_prepare_flip_string() accepts
size_t as an size argument. It returns the same size (or less). It is
unexpected that it returns a signed value and can confuse users to check
for negative values.
Instead, return the same size_t as accepted to make clear we return
values >= 0, where zero in fact means failure.
