    kernel - Fix deadlock when umount races an access on the underlying filesystem
    
    * The nlookup code temporarily busies the target mount when diving a
      mount point in cases where the base of the mount is not resolved
      in the namecache.
    
    * Fix a deadlock which can occur between the namecache structural lock
      and the vfs_busy() on the mount structure by reordering the lock.
    
    * Generally only occured if an attempt was made to unmount a filesystem
      on which programs are still doing active operations (verses just
      passively holding references to the filesystem).  For example, a
      umount on the target filesystem occuring while a cpdup using an
      absolute path is running.
