Description
I guess technically it could also be the spaces in the path, but I do hope that’s not it ;)
```

Research direction
Start by locating the code that parses /proc/self/mountinfo and reproduce the failure with the offending line shown in the issue, especially its escaped spaces and overlay paths. Trace how fields are split and verify that a mount containing spaces parses successfully; done means btrbk no longer reports a parse error for this input.
