The symlink /proc/<pid>/ns/{ipc,mnt,net,pid,user,uts} point to dentries allocated with d_alloc_pseudo that we can mount, and that have interesting names printed out with d_dname. When these files are bind mounted /proc/mounts is not currently displaying the mount point correctly because d_dname is called instead of just displaying the path where the file is mounted. Solve this by adding an explicit check to distinguish mounted pseudo inodes and unmounted pseudo inodes. Unmounted pseudo inodes always use mount of their filesstem as the mnt_root in their path making these two cases easy to distinguish.
