When mounting spec of a regular file, mount.nfs print error message as,

# mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/
mount.nfs: mount point /mnt is not a directory
# mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/testfile
mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/testfile is not a directory

This patch lets mount.nfs print more useful message,

# mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/
mount.nfs: mount spec 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile or point /mnt is not a directory
# mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/testfile
mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/testfile is not a directory
