[PATCH] Fix getlogin() to check only stdin to get a valid tty

Hello,

In my hobby OS [1] which uses Newlib C as its libc, I noticed that the 
GNU command 'logname' does output nothing when it is redirected or pipe'd.

The current getlogin() implementation [2] forces the three primary file 
descriptors (stdin, stdout and stderr) to be a valid tty before checking 
the utmp file, otherwise it returns NULL. This makes impossible to 
redirect (to a file or to a pipe), the output of a program that is using 
this function because one of its file descriptors won't be a tty.

See:

# cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	char *user;

	if(user = getlogin()) {
		printf("%s\n", user);
	}

	return 0;
}

# ./test
root
# ./test > xx
# cat xx
# ./test | cat
#

To fix this, I thought that only checking if stdin is a valid tty would 
be enough.

Does this sound reasonable to you?
Thanks.
