Subject: [PATCH] devpts: change the default value of devpts mode to 0620

The value of devpts mode is usually set to 620 in file
/etc/fstab like this:

$grep devpts /etc/fstab
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

But the default mode value of devpts is 0600. Why not
set it to 0620? This patch change it 0620.
