Alan Cox 8d075b199b tty: add a helper for setting termios data from kernel side
This basically encapsulates the small bit of locking knowledge needed. While
we are at it make sure we blow up on any more abusers and unsafe misuses of
ioctl for this kind of stuff.

We change the function to return an argument as at some point it needs to
honour the POSIX 'I asked for changes but got none of them' error reporting
corner case.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 96fd7ce58f TTY: create drivers/tty and move the tty core files there
The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char
driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.

Based on work done by Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
