Subject: Minor improvements to recordmount.pl

Hi,

while playing with ftrace and checking how it works, I also stumbled across
recordmount.pl. The following two patches contain improvements which simplify
the code and make it better readable IMHO. (They should also make it faster,
although I don't think one could measure it.)

I think there is more potential for significant speedups during build-time, but
these would involve structural changes and I'd need to do more research.

So, for a start, pick the low-hanging fruits and remove some "a bit clumsy"
parts :) I did some "unit testing" and built a complete kernel with these
patches applied. No problems, ftrace still works like a charm.

Regards,

   Wolfram
