Yes, this works.  I ran it through a dozen fio runs on v4.1 and 1000 runs
of generic/247 on v3/v4.0/v4.1/v4.2 and didn't see any EBUSY errors.
Also ran the xfstests "quick" group (~80-90 tests) plus generic/074 on
v3/v4.0/v4.1/v4.2.  Finally, I double checked the panic on umount issue
that dc4fd9ab01ab3 fixed and that still works too.

Thanks,
Scott
