Only fall back to the regular mount invocation when both fstab-independent root remount attempts fail. This avoids reading an encrypted fstab during a normal shutdown. Signed-off-by: Anees Rehman <anees.rehman@atlascopco.com>

During shutdown, Finit attempts several methods to remount the root filesystem
read-only. Currently, all methods run unconditionally, including a final
mountinvocation that reads/etc/fstab.On systems with an encrypted
/etc/fstab, this can trigger an unnecessaryaccess during normal shutdown.
Stop after either fstab-independent remount succeeds, and use the regular
mountinvocation only when both attempts fail.
