48ac22d855 initramfs: Honor canmount=off
The initramfs script was not honoring canmount=off.  With this change,
it does.  If the administrator has asked that a filesystem not be
mounted, that should be honored.

As an exception, the initramfs script ignores canmount=off on the
rootfs.  The rootfs should not have canmount=off set either.  However,
mounting it anyway seems harmless because it is being asked for
explicitly.  The point of this exception is to avoid the risk of
breaking existing systems, just in case someone has canmount=off set on
their rootfs.

The initramfs still mounts filesystems with canmount=noauto.  This is
necessary because it is typical to set that on the rootfs so that it can
be cloned.  Without canmount=noauto, the clones' duplicate mountpoints
would conflict.

This is the remainder of the fix for:

bd2958dea0 initramfs: Honor mountpoint=none/legacy
For filesystems that are children of the rootfs, when mountpoint=none or
mountpoint=legacy, the initrafms script would assume a mountpoint based
on the dataset path.  Given that the rootfs should have mountpoint=/ and
mountpoint inheritance is is the default behavior of ZFS, this behavior
seems unnecessary.  In any event, it turns mountpoint=none into a no-op.
That removes this option from the administrator, and if someone uses it,
it does not work as expected.  Worse yet, if the mountpoint directory
does not exist (which is the typical case for mountpoint=none), the
mounting and thus the boot process will fail.  For the case of
mountpoint=legacy, the assumed mountpoint may not be the correct value
set in /etc/fstab.

This change makes the initramfs script not mount the filesystem in
either case.  For mountpoint=none, this means we are correctly honoring
the setting.  For mountpoint=legacy, there are two scenarios:  If
canmount=on, the filesystem will be mounted by the normal mechanisms
later in the boot process.  If canmount=noauto, the filesystem will not
be mounted at all, unless the administrator has done something special.
If they're not doing something special and they want it mounted by the
initramfs, they can simply not set mountpoint=legacy.
