devtmpfs: mount with noexec and nosuid
devtmpfs is writable. Add the noexec and nosuid as default mount flags to prevent code execution from /dev. The systems who don't use systemd and who rely on CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y are the ones to be protected by this patch. Other systems are fine with the udev solution. No sane program should be relying on executing from /dev. So this patch reduces the attack surface. It doesn't prevent any specific attack, but it reduces the possibility that someone can use /dev as a place to put executable code. Chrome OS has been carrying this patch for several years. It seems trivial and simple solution to improve the protection of /dev when CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y.
