In order to ensure that knfsd threads don't linger once the nfsd
pseudofs is unmounted (e.g. when the container is killed) we let
nfsd_umount() shut down those threads and wait for them to exit.

This also should ensure that we don't need to do a kernel mount of
the pseudofs, since the thread lifetime is now limited by the
lifetime of the filesystem.

Hello,

This patch was merged in kernel v5.13, but the issue exists in older
kernels too.

Is there a reason that the patch was never backported to older stable
kernels?

Thanks,
Nikos.
