mountlist: remove dependency on libmount
* lib/mountlist.c (read_file_system_list): Parse /proc/self/mountinfo directly, rather than depending on libmount, which has many dependencies due to its dependence on libselinux, as detailed at: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2015-01/msg00063.html Note we restrict this to __linux__ as that's probably where this interface will remain. If ever porting, it would be best to first pull the makedev() wrapper from coreutils to a gnulib module. Note also we don't add a getline dependency to the mountlist module, as all Linux versions are sufficient.
