Subject: [PATCH] devpts_get_tty() should validate inode

devpts_get_tty() assumes that the inode passed in is associated with a valid
pty.  But if the only reference to the pty is via a bind-mount, the inode
passed to devpts_get_tty() while valid, would refer to a pty that no longer
exists.

With a lot of debug effort, Grzegorz Nosek developed a small program (see
below) to reproduce a crash on recent kernels. This crash is a regression
introduced by the commit:

	commit 527b3e4773628b30d03323a2cb5fb0d84441990f
	Author: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>
	Date:   Mon Oct 13 10:43:08 2008 +0100

To fix, ensure that the dentry associated with the inode has not yet been
deleted/unhashed by devpts_pty_kill().
