/etc/rc6.d/S60umountroot: line 17:  1462 Segmentation fault      mount $MOUNT_FORCE_OPT -n -o remount,ro -t dummytype dummydev / 2> /dev/null

The new super.c:nfs_remount function doesn't check the validity of the
options/options4 pointers. Unfortunately, this seems to happend.
The obvious patch seems to check the pointers, and not to do anything if
the happend to be NULL.

Tested on an XScale PXA255 system, latest git.
