Subject[PATCH v3] x86: fix ktermios-termio conversion
Date
The legacy TCSETA{,W,F} ioctls failed to set the termio->c_line field
on x86. This adds a missing get_user.

The same ioctls also fail to report faulting user pointers, which
we keep ignoring.

I should probably have made my intention clearer. I'm sitting on a
series of patches [1] that generalize a lot of headers by making an
asm-generic version and falling back on this in all architectures that
have the same code.

The x86 SET_LOW_TERMIOS_BITS macro, besides its own stylistic problems,
only works on little-endian architectures and generates compiler warnings
on architectures on which get_user returns 'int __must_check'.
My asm-generic version fixes this by using the architecture independent
code I posted in this thread.

One of my later patches removes all x86 specific headers that are identical
to the asm-generic version. The termios.h header is almost identical,
so I first wanted to submit the patch to make it actually the same.
