n_tty: Fix 4096-byte canonical reads
Although the maximum allowable canonical line is specified to be 255 bytes (MAX_CANON), the practical limit has actually been the size of the line discipline read buffer (N_TTY_BUF_SIZE == 4096). Commit 32f13521, n_tty: Line copy to user buffer in canonical mode, limited the line copy to 4095 bytes. With a completely full line discipline read buffer and a userspace buffer > 4095, _no_ data was copied, and the read() syscall returned 0, indicating EOF. Fix the interval arithmetic to compute the correct number of bytes to copy to userspace in the range [1..4096].
