Nicholas Piggin 6e7f6b82c6 tty: hvc: hvc_poll() fix read loop hang
Commit ec97eaad13 ("tty: hvc: hvc_poll() break hv read loop") causes
the virtio console to hang at times (e.g., if you paste a bunch of
characters to it.

The reason is that get_chars must return 0 before we can be sure the
driver will kick or poll input again, but this change only scheduled a
poll if get_chars had returned a full count. Change this to poll on
any > 0 count.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
