gunixmounts: Prevent "mounts-changed" race if /etc/mtab is used

Browse Source 
The /etc/mtab file is still used by some distributions (e.g. Slackware),
so it has to be monitored instead of /proc/self/mountinfo in order to
avoid races between g_unix_mounts_get and "mounts-changed" signal. The
util-linux is built with --enable-libmount-support-mtab in that case and
mnt_has_regular_mtab is used for checks. Let's use mnt_has_regular_mtab
also to determine which file to monitor.
