tty: Add get- ioctls to fetch tty status v3
For checkpoint/restore we need to know if tty has exclusive or packet mode set, as well as if pty is currently locked. Just to be able to restore this characteristics. For this sake the following ioctl codes are introduced - TIOCGPKT to get packet mode state - TIOCGPTLCK to get Pty locked state - TIOCGEXCL to get Exclusive mode state Note this ioctls are a bit unsafe in terms of data obtained consistency. The tty characteristics might be changed right after ioctl complete. Keep it in mind and use this ioctl carefully. v2: - Use TIOC prefix for ioctl codes (by jslaby@) Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> CC: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> CC: "H.
