Subject: Regression in 32-bit-compat TIOCGPTPEER ioctl due to 311fc65c9fb9c966bca8e6f3ff8132ce57344ab9

This commit refactored the implementation of TIOCGPTPEER, moving "case
TIOCGPTPEER" from pty_unix98_ioctl() to tty_ioctl().
pty_unix98_ioctl() is called by pty_unix98_compat_ioctl(), so before
the commit, TIOCGPTPEER worked for 32-bit userspace. Unfortunately
tty_compat_ioctl() does not call tty_ioctl() so after the commit,
TIOCGPTPEER from 32-bit userspace fails with ENOTTY.

Testcase in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202271.

I found this bug running the rr test suite.
