Tests portability: umount(8)
1) Avoid hangs on unmounting NFS on NetBSD
NetBSD umount(8) on a NFS mount whose server is gone will wait forever
because umount(8) calls realpath(3) and tries to access the mount before
it calls unmount(2). The non-portable, NetBSD-specific umount -R flag
prevent that behavior.
We therefore introduce UMOUNT_F, defined as "umount -f" on Linux and
"umount -f -R" on NetBSD to take care of forced unmounts, especially
in the NFS case.
2) Enforce usage of force_umount wrapper with timeout
Whenever umount is used it should be wrapped in force_umount with
tiemout handling. That saves us timing issues, and it handles the
NetBSD NFS case.
3) Cleanup kernel cache flush.
We used (cd $M0 && umount $M0 ) as a portable kernel cache flush
trick, but it does not flush everything we need on Linux. Introduce
a drop_cache() shell function that reverts to previously used
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches on Linux, and keeps
(cd $M0 && umount $M0 ) on other systems.
