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.
