ACK. It's not ->mnt_count, it's an extra dentry reference that holds the
ramfs objects in dcache. Solution:
ramfs_umount_begin() that would do equivalent of rm -rf.
With the changes I'm doing right now we will catch busy filesystems
without dentry scan, thus we are safe here.
Linus, are you OK with such variant?
Cheers,
Al
