Fix __might_sleep warning in tty/n_hdlc.c read due to copy_to_user call while current is TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. This is a false positive since the code path does not depend on current state remaining TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. The loop breaks out and sets TASK_RUNNING after calling copy_to_user. This patch supresses the warning by setting TASK_RUNNING before calling copy_to_user.
