[PATCH V4] mke2fs: disallow creating FS on a loop mounted file with no option

[Kazuya Mio <k-mio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When /etc/mtab is a symlink of /proc/mounts, mke2fs without -FF option
can create a filesystem on the image file that is mounted.
According to mke2fs man page, we should specify -FF option in this case.

This patch protects filesystem from unintended mke2fs caused by human error.

How to reproduce:
  # mke2fs -t ext4 -Fq fs.img
  # mount -o loop fs.img /mnt/mp1
  # mke2fs -t ext4 -Fq fs.img && echo "mke2fs success"
  mke2fs success
