devpts: Change the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx to the mounter of /dev/pts
In 99.99% of the cases only root in a user namespace can mount /dev/pts
and in those cases the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx will remain root.root
In the oddball case where someone else has CAP_SYS_ADMIN this code
modifies the /dev/pts mount code to use current_fsuid and current_fsgid
as the values to use when creating the /dev/ptmx inode. As is done
when any other file is created.
This is a code simplification, and it allows running without a root
user entirely.
