libmount: use x-systemd options as X-*
The previous patch introduces X-* options namespace for options that have to be maintained in user space. Unfortunately, systemd users already use mount options that are necessary by umount or another operations. The conclusion from discussion with systemd guys is to store all the systemd options in userspace. It seems better to add one line exception to libmount than force all fstab users to rename x-systemd to X-systemd.
