devpts: correctly set default options
devpts_get_sb() calls memset(0) to clear mount options and calls parse_mount_options() if user specified any mount options. The memset(0) is bogus since the 'mode' and 'ptmxmode' options are non-zero by default. parse_mount_options() restores options to default anyway and can properly deal with NULL mount options. So in devpts_get_sb() remove memset(0) and call parse_mount_options() even for NULL mount options. Bug reported by Eric Paris: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/7/448.
