Here is an updated one. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Any comments
are highly appreciated.

Currently when we checkpoint PTY connections we ignore data queued inside
read buffer of ldisk, such data is barely lost after the restore. So we
would like to have an ability to dump and restore it.

Here is a new ioctl code which simply copies data from read buffer
into the userspace without any additional processing (just like
terminal is sitting in a raw mode).

The idea behind is when we checkpointing PTY pairs we peek
this unread data into images on disk and on restore phase
we find the linked peer and write it back thus reading
peer will see it in read buffer.

I tried several approaches (including simply reuse of
canon_copy_from_read_buf and copy_from_read_buf) but
it not always do the trick: for example if data queued
doesn't have \n symbol the input_available_p helper
returns false and I shouldn't call for the helpers
above. So I end up in plain copying.

v2:
 - Use @char in ioctl definition.
