Define get_init_pts_sb()

See comments in the function header for details. The new interface will
be used in a follow-on patch.

Changelog [v2]:
	[Dave Hansen] Replace get_sb_ref() in fs/super.c with get_init_pts_sb()
	and make the new interface private to devpts

/*
* get_init_pts_sb()
*
* This interface is needed to support multiple namespace semantics in
* devpts while preserving backward compatibility of the current 'single-
* namespace' semantics. i.e all mounts of devpts without the 'newinstance'
* mount option should bind to the initial kernel mount, like
* get_sb_single().
*
* Mounts with 'newinstance' option create a new private namespace.
*
* But for single-mount semantics, devpts cannot use get_sb_single(),
* because get_sb_single()/sget() find and use the super-block from
* the most recent mount of devpts. But that recent mount may be a
* 'newinstance' mount and get_sb_single() would pick the newinstance
* super-block instead of the initial super-block.
*
* This interface is identical to get_sb_single() except that it
* consistently selects the 'single-namespace' superblock even in the
* presence of the private namespace (i.e 'newinstance') super-blocks.
