[RFC][PATCH 2/6] Remove 'devpts_root' global

[sukadev-r/Jw6+rmf7HQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org]

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev-r/Jw6+rmf7HQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>
Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/6] Remove 'devpts_root' global

Remove the 'devpts_root' global variable and find the root dentry using
the super_block. The super-block itself is found from the device inode,
using a new wrapper, pts_sb_from_inode().
