The new kernel mount API can bind-mount over a symlink. However, this
feature does not work with libmount because it canonicalizes all paths
by default. A possible workaround is to use the --no-canonicalize
option on the mount(8) command line, but this is a heavy-handed
solution as it disables all conversions for all paths and tags (such
as LABEL=) and fstab processing.
This commit introduces the X-mount.nocanonicalize userspace mount
option to control canonicalization. It only affects paths used for
mounting and does not affect tags and searching in fstab. Additionally,
this setting possible to use in fstab.
If the optional argument [=source|target] is not specified, then paths
canonicalization is disabled for both the source and target paths.
