>Description:
While doing a make release, I got this panic when the build was
unmounting the vnd0 device for the floppy creation.
>How-To-Repeat:
repeated make release until you get this.
>Fix:
Don't know. We had this problem in LFS due to races at
umount time. It was fixed by putting in proper locking with vfs_busy()
Maybe something similar?
