Bug#761511: Suggested patch

[Mark Hindley]

Control: tags -1 patch

Hi,

Sorry for the extended wait for a resolution to this.

I suspect the /dev/run -> /run/shm migration is pretty much done now, but I
suggest the following to ensure the warning is only printed when /dev/shm
actually appears in /etc/fstab.

    Only warn about old /dev/shm mount if it is actually present in /etc/fstab.
    
    Closes: #761511
