If temporary directory(TMPDIR/TEMPDIR) is on the mountpoint which
is mounted with nodev option or temporary directory is mounted with
with nodev option directly(e.g. tmpfs is mounted on /tmp), open(2)
has no permission to open device files in the temporary directory
and returns EACCES.  as below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
safe_macros.c:225: BROK: fsetxattr02.c:215: open(fsetxattr02chr,0,00) failed: EACCES
--------------------------------------------------------------------

We try to fix this issue by creating device files in /dev/ instead.

This is the same issue reported by open11, please see the mail:
http://lists.linux.it/pipermail/ltp/2018-July/008641.html

Changes in v2:
Acquire basename to avoid breaking OFFSET logic.

Hi!
> We try to fix this issue by creating device files in /dev/ instead.

I do not like much that we are messing up with the system directories.

Maybe we could mount a tmpfs over a directory in the test temporary
directory if we detect that the test temporary directory is mounted
with nodev. The downsinde is that it will be a bit more complicated
than this solution.
