TIOCSTI: always enable for CAP_SYS_ADMIN
83efeeeb ("tty: Allow TIOCSTI to be disabled") broke BRLTTY's ability to simulate keypresses on the console, thus effectively breaking braille keyboards of blind users. This restores the TIOCSTI feature for CAP_SYS_ADMIN processes, which BRLTTY is, thus fixing braille keyboards without re-opening the security issue.
