[libvirt] [PATCH 2/3] qemuDomainGetPreservedMounts: Prune nested mount points

[Michal Privoznik]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1431112

There can be nested mount points. For instance /dev/shm/blah can
be a mount point and /dev/shm too. It doesn't make much sense to
return the former path because callers preserve the latter (and
with that the former too). Therefore prune nested mount points.
