I apparently missed the issue and designed the interface without
considering this ugliness.  Maybe kernfs could be made to wrap rather
than providing mount/kill_sb() functions and hide details about sb or
we can simply add fstype->umount() so that there's symmetry; however,
the problem is kernfs-specific and other kernfs users would have
single static backing store and won't need to care about this, so, for
now, I think what it's a ugly but acceptable compromise.

Thanks.
