umount: provide more helpful error message

non-root user on device that is not mounted:

 $ umount /mnt/flash
 umount: /mnt/flash: umount failed: Operation not permitted

this is true, because we cannot evaluate permissions as there is no
entry in mtab, but users expect something more helpful -- for example

 umount: /mnt/flash: not mounted
