Adrian Reber e0f25b8992 tty: allow TIOCSLCKTRMIOS with CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE ...

The capability CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE was introduced to allow non-root
users to checkpoint and restore processes as non-root with CRIU.

This change extends CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to enable the CRIU option
'--shell-job' as non-root. CRIU's man-page describes the '--shell-job'
option like this:

  Allow one to dump shell jobs. This implies the restored task will
  inherit session and process group ID from the criu itself. This option
  also allows to migrate a single external tty connection, to migrate
  applications like top.

TIOCSLCKTRMIOS can only be done if the process has CAP_SYS_ADMIN and
this change extends it to CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

With this change it is possible to checkpoint and restore processes
which have a tty connection as non-root if CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is
set.
