It still retains two of my bugs.  I forgot to return from ioctl in
tty_io.c without which the return code is lost.  I failed to verify
that the devpts filesystem we find via path lookup is the same one
that was found when /dev/ptmx was opened.

Here is my tested version of the patch.

It survives light testing here.

Subject: [PATCH] pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER

The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues.

When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong
vfsmount is passed to dentry_open.  Which results in the kernel displaying
the wrong pathname for the peer.

The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves
them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased
reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in
regressions.

To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing
the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is
being called.  This allows the path of the slave to be derived when
opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to
the slave be cached.  Thus removing the need for caching the path.

A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and
used to implement a function devpts_mntget.   The new function devpts_mntget
takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm
that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock.

Fixes: 54ebbfb16034 ("tty: add TIOCGPTPEER ioctl")
