    Subject: [PATCH] pty: return EINVAL for TIOCGPTN for BSD ptys

    Commit bbb63c514a3464342967237a51a21ea8f61ab951 (drivers:tty:fix up
    ENOIOCTLCMD error handling) changed the default return value from tty
    ioctl to be ENOTTY and not EINVAL. This is appropriate.

    But in case of TIOCGPTN for the old BSD ptys glibc started failing
    because it expects EINVAL to be returned. Only then it continues to
    obtain the pts name the other way around.

    So fix this case by explicit return of EINVAL in this case.
