devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem.
The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.
The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.
Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.
Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.
A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.
In the implementation of devpts:
- devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
devpts are equal.
- pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached
inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
- devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the
unnecessary inode hold is removed.
- devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
deacrivate_super.
- The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
ignored.
In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.
Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current
situation.
This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5,
centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3,
ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1,
slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the
caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being
two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower
copy does not end up getting used.

devpts: clean up interface to pty drivers
This gets rid of the horrible notion of having that
struct inode *ptmx_inode
be the linchpin of the interface between the pty code and devpts.
By de-emphasizing the ptmx inode, a lot of things actually get cleaner,
and we will have a much saner way forward. In particular, this will
allow us to associate with any particular devpts instance at open-time,
and not be artificially tied to one particular ptmx inode.
The patch itself is actually fairly straightforward, and apart from some
locking and return path cleanups it's pretty mechanical:
- the interfaces that devpts exposes all take "struct pts_fs_info *"
instead of "struct inode *ptmx_inode" now.
NOTE! The "struct pts_fs_info" thing is a completely opaque structure
as far as the pty driver is concerned: it's still declared entirely
internally to devpts. So the pty code can't actually access it in any
way, just pass it as a "cookie" to the devpts code.
- the "look up the pts fs info" is now a single clear operation, that
also does the reference count increment on the pts superblock.
So "devpts_add/del_ref()" is gone, and replaced by a "lookup and get
ref" operation (devpts_get_ref(inode)), along with a "put ref" op
(devpts_put_ref()).
- the pty master "tty->driver_data" field now contains the pts_fs_info,
not the ptmx inode.
- because we don't care about the ptmx inode any more as some kind of
base index, the ref counting can now drop the inode games - it just
gets the ref on the superblock.
- the pts_fs_info now has a back-pointer to the super_block. That's so
that we can easily look up the information we actually need. Although
quite often, the pts fs info was actually all we wanted, and not having
to look it up based on some magical inode makes things more
straightforward.
In particular, now that "devpts_get_ref(inode)" operation should really
be the *only* place we need to look up what devpts instance we're
associated with, and we do it exactly once, at ptmx_open() time.
The other side of this is that one ptmx node could now be associated
with multiple different devpts instances - you could have a single
/dev/ptmx node, and then have multiple mount namespaces with their own
instances of devpts mounted on /dev/pts/. And that's all perfectly sane
in a model where we just look up the pts instance at open time.
This will eventually allow us to get rid of our odd single-vs-multiple
pts instance model, but this patch in itself changes no semantics, only
an internal binding model.
