commit e42c349f4cdfa43cb39a68c8f764f8cafc23a9a9 upstream

run_kernel() cleanup and signal_handler() invoke stty unconditionally.
When stdin is not a tty (for example in CI or unit tests), this writes
noise to stderr.

Call stty only when stdin is a tty.

Add regression tests for these paths:
- run_kernel() with non-tty stdin
- signal_handler() with non-tty stdin
- signal_handler() with tty stdin

[florian: add missing 'import sys' required by sys.stdin.isatty(); the
module was already present in the mainline tree before this commit but
was absent from the 6.12 base of kunit_kernel.py]
