[PATCH 1/9] UML - Fix /proc/mounts parsing boundary condition

[Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>]

When parsing /proc/mounts looking for a tmpfs mount on /dev/shm, if
a string that we are looking for if split across reads, then it
won't be recognized.

Fix this by refilling the buffer whenever we advance the cursor.
