As I understand, we can normalize and store it in /etc/mtab and
normalization is done by the kernel for /proc/mounts. In other words,
follow the kernel and make the /etc/mtab entries consistent with the
kernel.

In my patch, I decided to normalize at umount time when we compare the
mtab and proc file entries.

Any opinion on which one is better?

Thanks, Malahal.
