The "-c" option has been supported by umount since util-linux 2.17.
It tells umount that the path name is "canonical", meaning no
symlinks or ".." etc.
This is appropriate for autofs to use and it always uses canonical
path names.
The advantage of "-c" is that it means umount doesn't need to
'lstat()' the path so much.
From util-linux 2.30, umount doesn't lstat the path at all when
"-c" is passed. This is particularly beneficial when unmounting
an NFS filesystem for which the server is no reachable. In that
case an 'lstat()' will hang, but the umount(2) can succeed.
So check if "-c" is supported, and if so, use it.
Prior to 2.30 this doesn't help much, but doesn't hurt.
After 2.30 (and a similar small change to nfs-utils),
"-c" will mean that unmounting NFS filesystems will not hang.

It would be also nice to force systemd to use "umount -c" on shutdown
to avoid automount storm...
