Subject: [PATCH 13/15] tty: early return from send_break() on TTY_DRIVER_HARDWARE_BREAK

If the driver sets TTY_DRIVER_HARDWARE_BREAK, we leave ops->break_ctl()
to the driver and return from send_break(). But we do it using a local
variable and keep the code flowing through the end of the function.
Instead, do 'return' immediately with the ops->break_ctl()'s return
value.

This way, we don't have to stuff the 'else' branch of the 'if' with the
software break handling. And we can re-indent the function too.
