Summary:                    mount fails to mount "auto" filesystems
Description: 
Mount fails to mount those filesystems described in /etc/fstab as type
"auto".

The cause is that the standard C librar getmntent will return "auto" as
the filesystem type, and the mount.c code incorrectly checks for a NULL
string:

if (fsType || ...

Should be:

if (strcmp(fsType, "auto") || ...

Trivial patch attached.
