Remove spaces from CTL devices' default serial numbers
It's awkward to have spaces in CAM device serial numbers. That leads to such things as device nodes named "/dev/diskid/MYSERIAL%20%20%201". Better to replace the spaces with "0"s. This change only affects the default serial numbers for users who don't provide their own.
