set_termiox() and the TCGETX handler bail out with -EINVAL immediately if ->termiox is NULL, but there are no code paths that can set ->termiox to a non-NULL pointer; and no such code paths seem to have existed since the termiox mechanism was introduced back in commit 1d65b4a088de ("tty: Add termiox") in v2.6.28. Similarly, no driver actually implements .set_termiox; and it looks like no driver ever has.

Delete this dead code; but leave the definition of struct termiox in the UAPI headers intact.
I am thinking -- can/should we mark the structure as deprecated so that userspace stops using it eventually?
