qga: skip bind mounts in fs list

The filesystem list in build_fs_mount_list should skip bind mounts.
This because we end up in locking situations when doing fsFreeze. Like
mentioned in [1] and [2].

Next to that, the build_fs_mount_list call did a fallback via
build_fs_mount_list_from_mtab if mountinfo did not exist.
There it skipped bind mounts, but this is broken for newer OS.
This as mounts does not return the path of the bind mount but the
underlying dev/partition, so S_ISDIR will never return true in
dev_major_minor call.

This patch simply checks the existing devmajor:devminor tuple in the
mounts, and if it already exists, this means we have the same devices
mounted again, a bind mount. So skip this.

Same approach is used in open-vm-tools [3].
