It is interesting now that "fs_locations" support is in Linux NFSv4
client. They do it via "implicit mount" approach, rather than
overriding inode backpointers to the superblock and have addressed the
issue of umount.
See fs/nfs/nfs4namespace.c and other places that call vfs_kern_mount and
afs/mntpt.c
For umount nfs handles the implicit mounts which need to be implicitly
umounted in shrink_submounts
