The patch I just sent out broke existing behavior on non-linux again.
I'm really beginning to hate that if statement.  Anyhow, I fixed that,
and changed it around for readability.

Subject: [PATCH] df: prioritize mounts nearer the device root

In the presence of bind mounts of a device, the 4th "mount root" field
from /proc/self/mountinfo is now considered, so as to prefer mount
points closer to the root of the device.  Note on older systems with
an /etc/mtab file, the source device was listed as the originating
directory, and so this was not an issue.
Details at http://pad.lv/1432871

* src/df.c (filter_mount_list): When deduplicating mount entries,
only prefer sources nearer or at the root of the device, when the
target is nearer the root of the device.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

   base64 no longer supports hex or oct --wrap parameters,
   thus better supporting decimals with leading zeros.
 
+  df now prefers sources towards the root of a device when
+  eliding duplicate bind mounted entries.

 ** Improvements
 
   du no longer stats all mount points at startup, only doing so
