tty: Correct INPCK handling
If INPCK is not set, input parity detection should be disabled. This means parity errors should not be received from the tty driver, and the data received should be treated normally. SUS v3, 11.2.2, General Terminal Interface - Input Modes, states: "If INPCK is set, input parity checking shall be enabled. If INPCK is not set, input parity checking shall be disabled, allowing output parity generation without input parity errors. Note that whether input parity checking is enabled or disabled is independent of whether parity detection is enabled or disabled (see Control Modes). If parity detection is enabled but input parity checking is disabled, the hardware to which the terminal is connected shall recognize the parity bit, but the terminal special file shall not check whether or not this bit is correctly set." Ignore parity errors reported by the tty driver when INPCK is not set, and handle the received data normally.
