Good point, although I don't think that everything in section 8 has to
be in /sbin.
findmnt, lsblk and lslocks have been originally designed as
administrator's tools so we have selected section 8, but now it's
pretty usable for non-root users and the tools are commonly used, so
maybe move it to the section 1 makes sense.
I don't have any strong opinion about it, if you want to move the man
pages to the section 1 then send a patch. The paths should be
unchanged.
