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.
