If vfs_busy() is called without LK_NOWAIT and fs is being unmounted,
then vfs_busy returns with ENOENT error, isn't it ?

vfs_busy() internally increases the ref count for mount point, so, it cannot
be taken from under it (look for MNT_REF/MNT_REL). Simultameous entrance
into the code in question in vfs_busy/vfs_mount_destroy is protected
by mnt_mtx (MNT_ILOCK/MNT_IUNLOCK).
