Fix race in parallel mount's thread dispatching algorithm

Strategy of parallel mount is as follows.

1) Initial thread dispatching selects sets of mount points that don't
 have dependencies on other sets, hence threads can/should go lock-less
 and shouldn't race with other threads for other sets. Each thread
 dispatched corresponds to top level directory which may or may not have
 datasets mounted on sub directories.

2) Subsequent recursive thread dispatching for each thread from 1) is
 to mount datasets for each set of mount points. The mount points within
 each set have dependencies (i.e. child directories), so child
 directories are processed only after parent directory completes.

The problem is that initial thread dispatching can spawn >1 threads
for datasets with the same top level directory, and this puts threads
under race condition. This appeared as mount issue on ZoL for ZoL having
different timing regarding mount(2) execution due to fork(2)/exec(2) of
mount(8) on mount. Fix it by libzfs_path_contains() returning true for
same paths.
