set_fs_root() got it as upd->mountinfo being NULL from utab_new_entry(). That
got it from mnt_update_set_fs(), that from mnt_context_prepare_update() (where
it is cxt->update->mountinfo).

At least the constructor mnt_new_update() can create context with cxt->update
being not NULL and cxt->update->mountinfo being NULL.

It is also possible to pass to mnt_context_prepare_update() with cxt->update not
being NULL but cxt->update->mountinfo being NULL created by mnt_new_context(),
e. g. from mnt_context_mount().

It's seems better to read mountinfo when really necessary than always.
I have applied something else:

https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/commit/e9cd2e2bd9ec91a0b1050c4aa79555d142985924

I just got a positive feedback. My original patch as well as your patch
fix the crash.

Thanks.
