[Devel] [RFC][PATCH 3/8]: Remove devpts_root global

[sukadev at us.ibm.com]

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>
Subject: [RFC][PATCH 3/8]: Remove devpts_root global

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