tty: fix return value for unsupported ioctls
[ Upstream commit 1b8b20868a6d64cfe8174a21b25b74367bdf0560 ] Drivers should return -ENOTTY ("Inappropriate I/O control operation") when an ioctl isn't supported, while -EINVAL is used for invalid arguments. Fix up the TIOCMGET, TIOCMSET and TIOCGICOUNT helpers which returned -EINVAL when a tty driver did not implement the corresponding operations. Note that the TIOCMGET and TIOCMSET helpers predate git and do not get a corresponding Fixes tag below.
