[PATCH v2] agetty: don't put the VC into canonical mode

[Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk>]

The wait_for_term_input()'s select() needs to be tripped when the user
starts typing. Otherwise the reloads can abort an already in-progress login.

Coupled with \4 and \6 expansions that happen to be there on Fedora Server,
this means reload on every netlink event. With a couple of IPv6 routers
announcing their networks and temporary addresses in use can make it
sometimes virtually impossible to log in.

Seems like zero lflags do the job just fine on a Linux VT. Reset it to
canonical mode before running login.

Signed-off-by: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk>

Changes since v1:
- Unreversed the logic in termio_final()/reset_vc() conditional

Tested on a vc and serial console on a stock Fedora installation:

  /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --noclear tty1 linux
  /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --keep-baud 115200,38400,9600 ttyS2 vt220
