[PATCH] xfs_fsr: use /proc/mounts if available

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>]

Prefer /proc/mounts if it exists over /etc/mtab to get a correct picture
of the kernels mount table for this process.  This works arounds some
userspace like pam_mount polluting /etc/mtab with incorrect entries.

Also remove the "mtab" global variable and instead pass it explicitly
to fsrallfs, like we already do for other functions.
