The umount(8) always parses /proc/self/mountinfo to get fstype and to
merge kernel mount options with userspace mount options from
/run/mount/utab. This behavior is overkill in many cases and it's
pretty expensive as kernel has to always compose *whole* mountinfo.
This performance disadvantage is visible for crazy use-cases with huge
number of mountpoints and frequently called umount(8).
It seems that we can bypass /proc/self/mountinfo by statfs() to get
filesystem type (statfs.f_type magic) and analyze /run/mount/utab
before we parse mountinfo.
This optimization is not used when:
* umount(8) executed by non-root (as user= in utab is expected)
* umount --lazy / --force (target is probably unreachable NFS, then
use statfs() is pretty bad idea)
* target is not a directory (e.g. umount /dev/sda1)
* there is (deprecated) writeable mtab
