The reason EBUSY is returned is because propagate_mount_busy() is called by
do_umount() with refcnt == 2, but mnt_count == 3:

          umount-3577  M=f8898a34 u=3 0x555 sp=__x64_sys_umount+0x12/0x15

the trace line being added here:

		if (!propagate_mount_busy(mnt, 2)) {
			if (!list_empty(&mnt->mnt_list))
				umount_tree(mnt, UMOUNT_PROPAGATE|UMOUNT_SYNC);
			retval = 0;
		} else {
			trace_mnt_count(mnt, mnt->mnt_id,
					atomic_read(&mnt->mnt_count),
					0x555, __builtin_return_address(0));
		}

The busy evaluation is a result of this check:

	if (!list_empty(&mnt->mnt_mounts) || do_refcount_check(mnt, refcnt))

in propagate_mount_busy().


The problem apparently being that mnt_count counts both refs from mountings
and refs from other sources, such as file descriptors or pathwalk.
