Siddhesh Poyarekar ed5fce76b5 vfs: escape hash as well
When a filesystem is mounted with a name that starts with a #:

 # mount '#name' /mnt/bad -t tmpfs

this will cause the entry to look like this (leading space added so
that git does not strip it out):

 #name /mnt/bad tmpfs rw,seclabel,relatime,inode64 0 0

This breaks getmntent and any code that aims to parse fstab as well as
/proc/mounts with the same logic since they need to strip leading spaces
or skip over comment lines, due to which they report incorrect output or
skip over the line respectively.

Solve this by translating the hash character into its octal encoding
equivalent so that applications can decode the name correctly.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
