After we lost ustat(2) in commit 4e7a824, we ended up with a slightly
bonkers method to determine if our target block device was mounted:
it goes through every entry returned by getmntent and stats the dir
to see if its underlying device matches ours.

Unfortunately that dir might be a hung nfs server and sadness ensues.

So just do a really simple sanity check before we try to stat the
mountpoint: does its device start with a / ?  If not, skip it.

Fixes: 4e7a824 ("libxfs/linux.c: Replace use of ustat by stat")

V2: just look for fully-qualified device paths vs expecting an actual
block device.
