If mount(8) calls the mount.foo helpers with resolved mountpoint then no
need to resolve it again when it's called with the -i option.
But this breaks things which call mount -i with unresolved mountpoint.
Of course there could be a new mount(8) option for the resolved mountpoint
case but the problem is, there are about half dozen different mount(8)
already. We had a lot of problems with '/bin/mount -i' in the past.
It seems it would be more reliable and maintainable to copy back the
relevant mount mtab update code to FUSE (and fuse-lite). How much code
is it?
