This is so far untested (except for compiling) but I think this will
work.

I factor out devpts_ptmx_path out of devpts_acquire so the code
doesn't have to do unnecessary and confusing work, and add the
new function devpts_mnt.

I revert the code to keep anything except a dentry in
tty->link->driver_data.

And reduce the peer opening to a single function ptm_open_peer.

It takes lines of code but the result is very straightforward code.

Eric
