Commit 15e9a4f378c8607c2ae1aa465436af4321db0e23 introduced logic for
ttyname() sending back ENODEV to signal that we can't get a name for the
TTY because we inherited it from a different mount namespace.

However, just because we inherited it from a different mount namespace and
it isn't available at its original path, doesn't mean that its name is
unknowable; we can still try to find it by allowing the normal fall back on
iterating through devices.

An example scenario where this happens is with "/dev/console" in
containers.  It's a common practice among container managers (including
systemd-nspawn) to allocate a PTY master/slave pair in the host's mount
namespace (the slave having a path like "/dev/pty/$X"), bind mount the
slave to "/dev/console" in the container's mount namespace, and send the
slave FD to a process in the container.  Inside of the container, the
slave-end isn't available at its original path ("/dev/pts/$X"), since the
container mount namespace has a separate devpts instance from the host
(that path may or may not exist in the container; if it does exist, it's
not the same PTY slave device).  Currently ttyname{_r} sees that the file
at the original "/dev/pts/$X" path doesn't match the FD passed to it, and
fails early and gives up, even though if it kept searching it would find
the TTY at "/dev/console".  Fix that; don't have the ENODEV path force an
early return inhibiting the fall-back search.

This change is based on the previous patch that adds use of is_mytty in
getttyname and getttyname_r.  Without that change, this effectively reverts
15e9a4f, which made us disregard the false similarity of file pointed to by
"/proc/self/fd/$Y", because if it doesn't bail prematurely then that file
("/dev/pts/$X") will just come up again anyway in the fall-back search.

v2:
 - Rearrange commit order
 - Revise commit message
v3:
 - Revise commit message
 - Revise ChangeLog message
 - Fix style of block comments
