probes: reuse existing slot mounts; explicit -t ext4

The image's fstab keeps the factory slots mounted under /factory, and
busybox mount's auto-type iteration against an already-mounted ext4
device provokes a cosmetic kernel 'Can't open blockdev' for each
foreign-type claim (reproduced and pinned on the bench: ext3-typed
mount of an ext4-held device prints it; ext4-typed does not). Probes
now reuse an existing mountpoint from /proc/mounts and mount fresh
targets with an explicit -t ext4.
