uml: work around host tcsetattr bug

Under the conditions that UML uses it, tcgetattr is guaranteed to return
-EINTR when the console is attached to /dev/ptmx, making generic_console_write
hang because it loops, calling tcgetattr until it succeeds.  This is a host
bug - see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119618990807182&w=2 for the
details.

This patch works around it by blocking SIGIO while the terminal attributes are
being fiddled.
