tty: set_termios/set_termiox should not return -EINTR

commit 183d95cdd834381c594d3aa801c1f9f9c0c54fa9 upstream.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907
read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out).

A simple test-case from Roman:

// Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process.
// EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set.

void handler(int sig)
{
}

main()
{
  struct sigaction act;
  act.sa_handler = handler;
  act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
  sigaction (SIGCHLD, &act, 0);
  struct termio ttp;
  ioctl(0, TCGETA, &ttp);
  while(1)
  {
    if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) < 0)
      {
if (errno == EINTR)
{
  fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1);
}
      }
  }
}

Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this
particular problem.

I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look
equally wrong.
