  Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
  only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
  module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
  tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
  tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.

  Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if
  tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code.

  I discovered this when my UMTS modem stopped working with 2.6.27-rc1
  because module ppp_async was not loaded.
