Subject: [PATCH 4/4]: Enable multiple mounts of /dev/pts

Subject:[PATCH 4/4]: Enable multiple mounts of /dev/pts

To support multiple PTY namespaces, allow multiple mounts of /dev/pts, once
within each PTY namespace.

This patch removes the get_sb_single() in devpts_get_sb() and uses test and
set sb interfaces to allow remounting /dev/pts.

Changelog [v4]:
	- Split-off the simpler changes of moving global=variables into
	  'pts_namespace' to previous patch.

Changelog [v3]:
	- Removed some unnecessary comments from devpts_set_sb()

Changelog [v2]:

	- (Pavel Emelianov/Serge Hallyn) Remove reference to pts_ns from
	  sb->s_fs_info to fix the circular reference (/dev/pts is not
	  unmounted unless the pts_ns is destroyed, so we don't need a
	  reference to the pts_ns).
