[Bug 1616011] [NEW] mount does not /etc/mtab

[ugemkow]

Public bug reported:

mount no longer updates /etc/mtab in 16.04 when performing a mount. This
is a regression against 14.04.

I know that /etc/mtab should be a link to /proc/mounts but we have
reasons to not make this link. mount should behave as described in the
man-page.
