This unescaping is already done by getmntent(). With an fstab entry like

  \\1.2.3.4\stuff /mnt/stuff cifs defaults,nofail 0 0

the me->mnt_fsname is \1.2.3.4\stuff. fstab uses \ as an escape
character, so I'm afraid this pretty much behaves as specified and you
have to escape \ too if you use them (i. e. use \\\\1.2.3.4...).

It's best to avoid those at all and use forward slashes for CIFS mounts.
