Subject: [PATCH 7/8] fs: make devpts/inode.c explicitly non-modular

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

config UNIX98_PTYS
    bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the couple traces of modularity so that when reading the
driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering gets bumped to one level earlier when we
use the more appropriate fs_initcall here.  However we've made similar
changes before without any fallout and none is expected here either.
