POSIX does not specify this at all:

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/ioctl.html

I think this should be reverted as it breaks user-space code
that dates back to 2003.

ENOTTY doesn't even make sense anyway as it literally means "is not a
terminal" and pseudo-ttys certainly are terminals.
