I'm not sure that's the right solution. PTYs are virtual devices used
for IPC and neither end (master or slave) have support for modem
control or baud rates.

So instead of these pointless calls to set the slave termios and
modem-control state, you might as well bail out early above (and
similarly in set_baudrate()).

Using n_hci for a master pty really makes no sense at all, so we could
even bail out at ldisc open, but perhaps that can be discussed and
addressed later.
