Comparing glibc and bionic, they both match when followed by an '='.
So the below function handles that, and replaces strstr with an
strncmp and a loop. If this version is ok I'll submit a patch?

char *hasmntopt(const struct mntent *mnt, const char *opt)
{
    char *ptr = mnt->mnt_opts;
    size_t len = strlen(opt);

    while (ptr) {
        char *end = ptr + len;
        if (!strncmp(ptr, opt, len) &&
                 (*end == '\0' || *end == ',' || *end == '=')) return ptr;
        ptr = strchr(ptr, ',');
        if (ptr) ptr++;
    }

    return NULL;
}
