`libmount` from util-linux and many softwares in userspace (e.g.
kubelet) did not expect empty string as mount source:

```
$ mount -t tmpfs "" /mnt/tmpfs
$ findmnt /mnt/tmpfs
findmnt: /proc/self/mountinfo: parse error at line 51
$ cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep -P '\/mnt\/tmpfs'
74 25 0:59 / /mnt/tmpfs rw,relatime shared:38 - tmpfs  rw
$ cat /proc/self/mounts | grep -P '\/mnt\/tmpfs'
 /mnt/tmpfs tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0
```

`source` field in mounts/mountinfo is empty, which breaks a lot of
mounts/mountinfo parsers when user use empty string as mount source.

This fixes issues in parsing when user use empty string as mount
source.

What about show_vfsstat()?  Doesn't it need:
