The return value ret pointer is pointing opts_copy, but opts_copy
gets freed in get_delegate_value before return, fix this by free
the mntent->mnt_opts strdup memory after show delegate value.

Thanks! The fix looks OK to me, but why do you need to have
PRINT_DELEGATE_OPT*() as macros? Can't you just use functions instead?

Quentin

Well, actually, there is no special purpose about using macros, i will
use functions as you and Andrri suggested, thanks.
