Mock 5.1.1 bugfixes

• commit#1e13b56ce3c0efdf81 caused “basedir” to be created only once per Mock run, but likewise directory “rootdir” was created only once.

  Since Mock automatically unmounts rootdir after each build and then also removes the rootdir directory to finish the cleanup tasks (at least if tmpfs or other “root” plugin is in use, –resultdir is in use, …), subsequent builds failed to re-mount the rootdir with, e.g.:

  ERROR: Command failed:
  $ mount -n -t tmpfs -o mode=0755 -o nr_inodes=0 -o size=140g mock_chroot_tmpfs /var/lib/mock/fedora-37-x86_64-1694797505.326095/root
  

  This caused problems e.g. in Fedora Copr where each Mock build is actually a two-step build done like:

  mock --spec foo.spec --sources . --resultdir ...
  

  So Mock first builds SRPM, and then builds RPMs (two builds in one run).
