/* The old code here used flock on a lock file /etc/mtab~ and deleted
   this lock file afterwards. However, as rgooch remarks, that has a
   race: a second mount may be waiting on the lock and proceed as
   soon as the lock file is deleted by the first mount, and immediately
   afterwards a third mount comes, creates a new /etc/mtab~, applies
   flock to that, and also proceeds, so that the second and third mount
   now both are scribbling in /etc/mtab.
   The new code uses a link() instead of a creat(), where we proceed
   only if it was us that created the lock, and hence we always have
   to delete the lock afterwards. Now the use of flock() is in principle
   superfluous, but avoids an arbitrary sleep(). */
