[PATCH 2/2] qemu_namespace: Make qemuDomainGetPreservedMounts() more robust wrt running VMs

The aim of qemuDomainGetPreservedMounts() is to get a list of
filesystems mounted under /dev and optionally generate a path for
each one where they are moved temporarily when building the
namespace. And if given domain is also running it looks into its
mount table rather than at the host one. But if it did look at
the domain's private mount table, it find /dev mounted twice: the
first time by udev, the second time the tmpfs mounted by us.

Now, later in the function there's a "sorting" algorithm that
tries to reduce number of mount points needing preservation, by
identifying nested mount points. And if we keep the second
occurrence of /dev on the list, well, after the "sorting" we are
left with nothing but "/dev" because all other mount points are
nested.
