Subject: [PATCH resend v2] tty: n_tty -- Add new TIOCPEEKRAW ioctl to peek
 unread data

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 makes code more complicated, so I end up
in plain copying of buffer data.

Strictly speaking, we could try handle it inside CRIU itself, as
Peter Hurley proposed (switch terminal to raw mode, read data,
and return original termios back) but in this case we may hit
the scenario when we read data and failed to restore it back
(due to any error) leaving the task we're dumping without
read buffer, thus peeking data looks like be the only
safe way.

v2:
 - Use @char in ioctl definition.
