/*
 * Try to find a suitable devpts filesystem. We support the following
 * scenarios:
 * - The ptmx device node is located in the same directory as the devpts
 *   mount where the pts device nodes are located.
 *   This is e.g. the case when calling open on the /dev/pts/ptmx device
 *   node when the devpts filesystem is mounted at /dev/pts.
 * - The ptmx device node is located outside the devpts filesystem mount
 *   where the pts device nodes are located. For example, the ptmx device
 *   is a symlink, separate device node, or bind-mount.
 *   A supported scenario is bind-mounting /dev/pts/ptmx to /dev/ptmx and
 *   then calling open on /dev/ptmx. In this case a suitable pts
 *   subdirectory can be found in the common parent directory /dev of the
 *   devpts mount and the ptmx bind-mount, after resolving the /dev/ptmx
 *   bind-mount.
 *   If no suitable pts subdirectory can be found this function will fail.
 *   This is e.g. the case when bind-mounting /dev/pts/ptmx to /ptmx.
