[PATCH] /dev/ptmx open() fixes
If tty_open() fails for a normal serial device, we end up doing cleanups that should only happen for failed open of /dev/ptmx. The results are not pretty - devpts et.al. end up very confused. That's what gave problems with ptmx. This splits ptmx file_operations from the normal case and cleans up both tty_open() and (new) ptmx_open(). Survived serious beating.
