Commit Message

The sender domain has a DMARC Reject/Quarantine policy which disallows
sending mailing list messages using the original "From" header.

To mitigate this problem, the original message has been wrapped
automatically by the mailing list software.
set_stdio chdirs to /dev/ to facilitate easy freopen of the console
device name given by the tty parameter. Make sure to chdir back to /
done in all cases, even in the error path. This keeps the function free
from unintended side effects.

Before this commit, in case of an error, the working directory would
remain /dev/ which would break sysupgrade because the rest of the code
would rely on the current working directory to be unchanged, which is
not an unreasonable expectation to make.

Fixing this fixes an issue where sysupgrade would fail, when
/dev/console does not exist or cannot be opened, which can happen for
example when setting console= on kernel cmdline.

Closes: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/6005
Fixes: 91da63d3d3fd ("properly handle return codes")
