[Devel] [PATCH 5/11][v3]: Simplify devpts_pty_kill

[sukadev at us.ibm.com]

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH 5/11]: Simplify devpts_pty_kill

When creating a new pty, save the pty's inode in the tty->driver_data.
Use this inode in pty_kill() to identify the devpts instance. Since
we now have the inode for the pty, we can skip get_node() lookup and
remove the unused get_node().

TODO: 
	- check if the mutex_lock is needed in pty_kill().
