[PATCH] mips: configs: remove no longer needed config option

[Anders Roxell]

Since commit eedf265aa003 ("devpts: Make each mount of devpts an
independent filesystem.") CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES isn't needed
in the defconfig anymore.

Apologies - this was forgotten because it stopped showing up as
requiring action in patchwork after Ralf marked it as accepted, but it
has never been applied to the shared mips-next branch.

I do question whether it's worthwhile making these one-line changes to
configs, because:

  1) The no presence of CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is harmless
     anyway, it'll just be ignored.

  2) The configs in question will still not be up to date with a lot of
     other changes since they were added.

Together these 2 things lead me to think that we'd be better to either:

  a) Leave the defconfigs as-is, since the changes won't make them work
     any better or worse.

  b) Regenerate them entirely, such that they're up to date with not
     just this Kconfig change but all of them.

Thanks,
    Paul
