linux ttyname and ttyname_r: do not return wrong results

If a link (say /proc/self/fd/0) pointing to a device, say /dev/pts/2, in a
parent mount namespace is passed to ttyname, and a /dev/pts/2 exists (in a
different devpts) in the current namespace, then it returns /dev/pts/2.
But /dev/pts/2 is NOT the current tty, it is a different file and device.

Detect this case and return ENODEV.  Userspace can choose to take this as a hint
that the fd points to a tty device but to act on the fd rather than the link.
