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

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