tty: warn on deprecated serial flags
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When somebody calls TIOCSSERIAL ioctl with serial flags to set one of
* ASYNC_SESSION_LOCKOUT
* ASYNC_PGRP_LOCKOUT
* ASYNC_CALLOUT_NOHUP
* ASYNC_AUTOPROBE
nothing happens. We actually ignore the flags for over a decade at
least (I checked 2.6.0).

So start yelling at users who use those flags, that they shouldn't.
