df: report correct device in presence of eclipsed mounts
* src/df.c (last_device_for_mount): A new function to identify
the last device mounted for a mount point.
(get_disk): Use the above to discard mount entries for a device,
where a later mount entry uses a different device name than
that of the user specified device.
* tests/df/over-mount-device.sh: A new root test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Reword for all these related recent fixes.
Discussed at: http://bugs.gnu.org/16539#69
