Not an API break. Only calls prefixed with "sd_" are API, we never export any others. But yeah, path_is_mount_point() should be reworked to operate like openat() and similar calls, i.e. taking an fd to a dir, plus a filename below that dir, instead of directly and only an fd to the file below that dir.
