fs: avoid empty option when generating legacy mount string 

commit 6217642027 upstream.

As each option string fragment is always prepended with a comma it would
happen that the whole string always starts with a comma. This could be
interpreted by filesystem drivers as an empty option and may produce
errors.

For example the NTFS driver from ntfs.ko behaves like this and fails
when mounted via the new API.
