mountd: Possible bug in next_mnt()

[Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>]

Hi!

next_mnt() finds submounts below a given path p.
While investigating into an issue in my crossmount patches for nfs-utils I noticed
that it does not work when fsid=root, rootdir=/some/path/ and then "/" is being exported.
In this case next_mnt() is asked to find submounts of "/" but returns none.

In my opinion this wrong because every mount is a submount of "/".

The following change fixes the problem on my side but I'm not sure whether
"/" is a special case in mountd where next_mnt() has to bail out.

Comments? :-)
