Log:
  Make /proc/self/fd `work'.
  
  On Linux, /proc/<pid>/fd is comparable to fdescfs, where it allows you
  to inspect the file descriptors used by each process. Glibc's ttyname()
  works by performing a readlink() on these nodes, since all nodes in this
  directory are symlinks.
  
  It is a bit hard to implement this in linprocfs right now, so I am not
  going to bother. Add a way to make ttyname(3) work, by adding a
  /proc/<pid>/fd symlink, which points to /dev/fd only if the calling
  process matches. When fdescfs is mounted, this will cause the
  readlink() in ttyname() to fail, causing it to fall back on manually
  finding a matching node in /dev.
