    ve/devmnt: fix ignore device permissions for pseudosuper
    
    Imagine we have
     1) ve->is_pseudosuper == true
     2) err returned from ve_devmnt_check == -EPERM
     3) remount == true
    
    In this case ((ve->is_pseudosuper || !err) && !remount) == false, and
    thus "err = ve_devmnt_insert" is not called, meaning that err remains
    -EPERM, and ve_devmnt_process fails with -EPERM. Would be more logical
    to just ignore error from ve_devmnt_check setting err to 0 as if
    ve_devmnt_check passed with no error.
    
    Fixes: b405a6b90577 ("ve/fs: namespace -- Ignore device permissions
    during restore")
