ksys_umount was refactored to into split into another function (path_umount) to enable sharing code. This changed the order that flags and permissions are validated in, and made it so that user_path_at was called before validating flags and capabilities. Unfortunately, libfuse2[1] and libmount[2] rely on the old flag validation behaviour to determine whether or not the kernel supports UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW. The other path that this validation is being checked on is init_umount->path_umount->can_umount. That's all internal to the kernel.
