#7886 caused PrivateDevices= to silently fail-open. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/7886#issuecomment-358542849 Allow PrivateDevices= to succeed, in creating /dev/ptmx, even though DeviceControl=closed applies. No specific justification was given for blocking mknod of /dev/ptmx. Only that we didn't seem to need it, because we weren't creating it correctly as a device node.
