userns: Allow the userns root to mount of devpts
- The context in which devpts is mounted has no effect on the creation of ptys as the /dev/ptmx interface has been used by unprivileged users for many years. - Only support unprivileged mounts in combination with the newinstance option to ensure that mounting of /dev/pts in a user namespace will not allow the options of an existing mount of devpts to be modified. - Create /dev/pts/ptmx as the root user in the user namespace that mounts devpts so that it's permissions to be changed.
