[PATCH 09/16] devpts: Fail early (if appropriate) on overmount

[Eric W. Biederman]

Update the vfs with a may_overmount superblock operation, allowing
devpts to fail early if the primary mount of devpts is going to be
mounted on top of itself.

This change is in preparation for each mount of devpts being distinct
from every other mount of devpts.  To maintain a backward compatible
notion of a primary mount of devpts we need overmounts of the mount to
fail (as they do now), which requires a little vfs support so the case
can be detected.

Cause failed over mounts of devpts to go through the devpts remount
path.  This already happens as overmounts have previously been detected
late, and it looks like CentOS 6 may actually depend on this behavior
to allow changing devpts mount options by placing them in /etc/fstab.
