[PATCH 1/3] Remove support for old kernels lacking private devpts

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>

Early on kernel support for private devpts was not widespread,
so we had compatibiltiy codepaths. Such old kernels are not
seriously used for LXC these days, so the compat code can go
away
