Besides typing change noted below, the change sounds reasonable.
If you want to fix another issue around mntent, hasmntopts has some
troubles too :p

Try avoiding unrelated changes in the commit, since they can introduce
subtle bugs. In this case, making n size_t[] instead of int[] will lead
to pointer type mismatches in the sscanf call, given that %n expects an
int*.
I don't know if *scanf guarantees it won't read enough to go past
INT_MAX, though, so making a change to size_t[] and using %ln might make
sense. Deferring to someone else to answer that.
