Initial testing show that this do not work. If /etc/mtab is a
symlink, mount refuses to update it. If it is a bind mount, mount is
unable to create /etc/mtab~ and refuses to update it. I tried to bind
mount /etc/mtab~ and /etc/mtab.tmp too, but without much success. I
am starting to suspect that storing mtab in /lib/init/rw/ is not going
to work without patching mount.
