[Devel] [PATCH 4/11][v3]: Simplify devpts_pty_new()

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH 4/11]: Simplify devpts_pty_new()

devpts_pty_new() is called when setting up a new pty and would not
have an existing dentry or inode for the pty. So don't bother looking
for an existing dentry - just create a new one.
