Subject: [PATCH] devtmpfs: make 'devtmpfs_context_ops' static

The 'devtmpfs_context_ops' object is not exported outside the
devtmpfs.c file nor defined anywhere for use outside. Make this
static to remove the following sparse warning:

drivers/base/devtmpfs.c:88:30: warning: symbol 'devtmpfs_context_ops' was not declared. Should it be static?
