[PATCH] Remove legacy code for single-instance devpts filesystem

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

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

An earlier commit dropped support for using LXC with kernels
having single-instance devpts filesystem from the LXC
controller. It forgot to remove the same code from the LXC
container setup.
