Subject: [PATCH 1/1] tty: set_termios/set_termiox should not return -EINTR

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907
read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out).

A simple test-case from Roman:

	// Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process.
	// EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set.

	void handler(int sig)
	{
	}

	main()
	{
	  struct sigaction act;
	  act.sa_handler = handler;
	  act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
	  sigaction (SIGCHLD, &act, 0);
	  struct termio ttp;
	  ioctl(0, TCGETA, &ttp);
	  while(1)
	  {
	    if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) < 0)
	      {
		if (errno == EINTR)
		{
		  fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1);
		}
	      }
	  }
	}

Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this
particular problem.

I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look
equally wrong.
