Bug description:
  [SRU JUSTIFICATION][TRUSTY][WILY][XENIAL]

  Running stress-ng --pty 1 with a very low vmalloc memory available can
  trip an oops.  This can be generally only be reproduced when memory is
  under a high amount of pressure.  I was able to reproduce reliably by
  forcefully injecting vmalloc to return NULL when the stress-ng pty was
  running.

  [FIX]
  Upstream commit 5353ed8deedee9e5acb9f896e9032158f5d998de ("devpts: fix null pointer dereference on failed memory allocation"). This needs backporting to Yakkey, Xenial, Wily and Trusty because of changes in variable names.

  [TEST]
  Forcefully inject vmalloc to return NULL when running the pty stressor. Without the fix, an oops can be tripped, with the fix, no issues occur.
