I don't think it's checking the mount table, it's checking the registry.
The entry will be cleaned up by the time it gets to the mount table.
What would be useful is a check that ::add_item will accept the registry
entry, i.e. won't return EINVAL or perhaps "path too long".
The relevant part of add_item is pasted below. It shows when EINVAL
is returned.
