Damian Szuberski 4d22befde6 initramfs: use `mount.zfs` instead of `mount`
A followup to d7a67402a8

For `mount -t zfs -o opts ds mp` command line
some implementations of `mount(8)`, e. g. Busybox in Debian
work as follows:

```
newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "ds", 0x7fff826f4ab0, 0) = -1
mount("ds", "mp", "zfs", MS_SILENT, NULL) = 0
```

The logic above skips completely `mount.zfs` and prevents us
from reading filesystem properties and applying mount options.

For comparison, the coreutils `mount(8)` implementation does:

```
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/filesystems", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
// figure out that zfs is a `nodev` filesystem and look for a helper
newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/sbin/mount.zfs" ...) = 0
execve("/sbin/mount.zfs" ...) = 0
```

Using `mount.zfs` in initramfs would help circumvent deficiencies
of some of `mount(8)` implementations. `mount -t zfs` translates
to `mount.zfs` invocation, except for cases when explicitly disabled
by `-i`.
