[PATCH]mke2fs: don't check mount flags for regular files

[Peng Tao <bergwolf@gmail.com>]

mke2fs scans /proc/mounts for mount flags of a device. But for regular files,
this is unnecessary and may cause troubles.

This can be triggered by:
$dd if=/dev/null of=rootfs bs=1024 seek=100000 count=0
$mke2fs -t ext3 -F rootfs
mke2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
rootfs is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
