util-linux: Add mount lock patch

Add the mount lock patch that moves the lock file from the potentially R/O
/etc, to the R/W /var/lock directory.

This resolves a problem when mounting when / (and /etc) is mounted R/O.

The FHS indicates that /etc must be capable of being mounted R/O.
The FHS also indicates that lock files belong in /var/lock, and /var must
be R/W as soon as possible during boot.
This patch moves the mtab lock file from the potentially R/O /etc, to the
R/W /var/lock area. This lock file is used when mounting disks and making
other mount adjustments. The _PATH_MOUNTED_TMP is not adjusted, as failing
to write to this file does not cause any functional limitations.
(Note, if /etc is R/O, then /etc/mtab should be a symlink to /proc/mounts)
