mount (new): Using -a, exits with 64.

Hello

Using new mount, when run with -a and some mounting is performed, mount 
retuns 64 instead of 0.

Example:

# mkdir /mnt/coco
# echo "coco /mnt/coco tmpfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
# mount -a ; echo $?
64
# mount | tail -1
coco on /mnt/coco type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
# umount  /mnt/coco
# mount /mnt/coco ; echo $?
0
# mount --version
mount from util-linux 2.21-rc1 (libmount 2.21.0)

Ah.. I know that umount exit codes and error messages are not ready,
but I forgot to check mount -a, so thanks. I will add this to my TODO
list for -rc2.

Anyway, this seems correct, man mount:

    64     some mount succeeded

this used by mount -a.
