From: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov at openvz.org>

BugLink: http://launchpad.net/bugs/543617

__sync_filesystem(sb, 0) is no longer works on umount because sb can
not be pined, Because s_mount sem is downed for write and s_root is NULL.
In fact umount is a special case similar to WB_SYNC_ALL, where
sb is pinned already.
