Applied to master, thanks. This may cause problems for people who
currently needed libmount, but do not have anything else in their
configuration that selects util-linux libmount option. Their next
Buildroot build will silently no longer have libmount support.

However, we don't really have a good way to handle such dependencies
that used to be mandatory and become optional, so there's not much we
can do about it.

We might however see a few build issues from reverse dependencies of
libglib2 that do need libmount. Such reverse dependencies will have to
select BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBMOUNT by themselves.
