The attached change seems to fix the lazy-umount problem.

I can't test any more at the moment, as my laptop died today :). But I have no objection to this.

It would be more fun if there was a way to support it :), but I don't have a genuine reason to want it.  And you couldn't use it for fully general purposes anyway, because umount2( , MNT_DETACH) is defined as separating all the child mounts.

P.S. Regarding the issue with the namespace loop.  My strawman solution would be for graft_tree() to silently detach any NS file mounts that have a sequence number less than or equal to the namespace they are being mounted into.
