The problem is quite complex:

- pty's aren't deallocated in the kernel anymore
- because pty device nodes cannot be deallocated before it has no
  process groups bound to it, pty's wouldn't even be deallocated in a
  lot of situations (kill sshd).

The easiest fix would be to replace the make_dev_cred() call in
tty_pty.c with make_dev(). This should at least solve the jail leak.
