Kazuya Mio fbabd5c44c mke2fs: disallow creating FS on a loop mounted file with no option
When /etc/mtab is a symlink of /proc/mounts, mke2fs without -FF option
can create a filesystem on the image file that is mounted.
According to mke2fs man page, we should specify -FF option in this case.

This patch protects filesystem from unintended mke2fs caused by human error.

How to reproduce:
  # mke2fs -t ext4 -Fq fs.img
  # mount -o loop fs.img /mnt/mp1
  # mke2fs -t ext4 -Fq fs.img && echo "mke2fs success"
  mke2fs success

	This is the new version (1.42.8) of the second extended file
system management programs.

	From time to time, I release new versions of e2fsprogs, to fix
bugs and to make the utilities more robust.  You can always find
information about the latest version at the the e2fsprogs web page,
which is:

	http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net

	The INSTALL file has instructions on building and installing
e2fsprogs.  Provisions for building Red Hat RPMs and Debian dpkg files
are supplied as well.

	In case of bugs in these programs, please contact Ted Ts'o at
tytso@mit.edu or tytso@alum.mit.edu.  See the e2fsck man page for
suggestions of what sort of information to include when submitting bug
reports for these programs.
