tty: Use __GFP_NOFAIL for tty_ldisc_get()
syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection
at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we
have tried commit 5362544bebe85071 ("tty: don't panic on OOM in
tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9b7d600
("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible
crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs
rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation
failure.
