Subject: tty: gigaset: really fix chars_in_buffer

From: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>

commit a4304f2d5a3823deea894026ec95e43b33912357 upstream.

The tty_operation chars_in_buffer() is not allowed to return a negative
value to signal an error.  Corrects the problem flagged by commit
23198fda7182969b619613a555f8645fdc3dc334, "tty: fix chars_in_buffers".
