tty: add a helper for setting termios data from kernel side

This basically encapsulates the small bit of locking knowledge needed. While
we are at it make sure we blow up on any more abusers and unsafe misuses of
ioctl for this kind of stuff.

We change the function to return an argument as at some point it needs to
honour the POSIX 'I asked for changes but got none of them' error reporting
corner case.
