The second /bin/mount hangs on readlink("/mnt/windows",

So it looks like the issue is that when mount does readlink on the
mountpoint audit will do a request to get the xattr which will hang
because ntfs-3g is not ready to reply, probably waiting for mount to
finish
Is it necessary to wait for the child mount in main process ?
