mdmon: don't monitor /proc/mounts to decide when to create .pid file.

Monitoring /proc/mounts and creating a .pid file as soon as /var/run
is writable is racy.  Most distros clean all non-directories from
/var/run early in boot and if mdmon races with this it could
lose the files as soon as they are created.

Instead require that "mdmon --takeover" be run after /var is writable.
