3.13.11-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm at xmission.com>

commit 3e1866410f11356a9fd869beb3e95983dc79c067 upstream.

Now that remount is properly enforcing the rule that you can't remove
nodev at least sandstorm.io is breaking when performing a remount.

It turns out that there is an easy intuitive solution implicitly
add nodev on remount when nodev was implicitly added on mount.
