If ioctl(TIOCSLCKTRMIOS) fails with EPERM it means that a CRIU process lacks of CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. But we can use ioctl(TIOCGLCKTRMIOS) to read current ->termios_locked value from the kernel and if it's the same as we already have we can skip failing ioctl(TIOCSLCKTRMIOS) safely.
Adrian has recently posted [1] a very good patch to allow ioctl(TIOCSLCKTRMIOS) for processes that have CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE (right now it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
