After we lost ustat(2) in commit 4e7a824, we ended up with a slightly bonkers method to determine if our target block device was mounted: it goes through every entry returned by getmntent and stats the dir to see if its underlying device matches ours. Unfortunately that dir might be a hung nfs server and sadness ensues. So do some pre-checks; can we stat the mounted "device?" If so is it really a block device? If not, skip it.
