TTY fix for 6.10-rc2

Here is a single revert for a much-reported regression in 6.10-rc1 when
it comes to a few older architectures.  Turns out that the VT ioctls
don't work the same across all cpu types because of some old
compatibility requrements for stuff like alpha and powerpc.  So revert
the change that attempted to have them use the _IO() macros and go back
to the known-working values instead.

This has NOT been in linux-next but has had many reports that it fixes
the issue with 6.10-rc1.
