* mount.cifs: Properly update mtab during remount (LP: #1144612)
During a remount of a cifs filesystem, the mtab file is not properly
updated, which leads to a doubled entry of the same filesystem in the
/etc/mtab file. This patch adds a new function del_mtab() which is
called before the add_mtab() in case the fs is being remounted.
The del_mtab() function will delete from the mtab, the old entry from
the filesystem which is being remounted, and then, calls add_mtab() to
add an updated entry to the mtab file.
