TIOCSTI: always enable for CAP_SYS_ADMIN

Browse source

83efeeeb3d ("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.
