We check for -EAGAIN in n_tty_write() but never currently get it from
process_output_block(). Let's add -EAGAIN handling and break out with 0
bytes processed. Note that if we return -EAGAIN from n_tty_write(), it
will be treated as error by the caller rather than a retry.

Looking at the patch description for commit 9ef8927f45f2 ("n_tty: check
for negative and zero space return from tty_write_room") it looks like we
have not made use of -EGAIN from process_output_block() so far, so this
-EGAIN?
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
does not seem like it's currently needed as a fix.

We can use -EAGAIN for serial layer power management changes as we now
will make use of write_room() returning 0 for an idled serial port.
