Fix kissattach 'Device or resource busy'

Sometimes kissattach had an issue using the pseudo terminal on some versions
of Linux: 'Error setting line discipline: TIOCSETD: Device or resource busy'.

This fix resolves the issue by not reading from the pty's master fd, until
kissattach has opened and configured the slave. This is implemented using
select() to wait for data before reading from the master fd.
