[patch][linux-cifs-client] clean-up entries in /etc/mtab after unmounting a cifs filesystem

[Shirish Pargaonkar]

Two different patches for the same functionality, to remove the
remaining entry in /etc/mtab
after a filesystem is unmounted by canonicalizing the supplied
mountpoint on the command line.

Please refer to bug 4370 in samba bugzilla.

Regards,

Shirish
