There's also vfsmount refcounting breakage somewhere in automount series,
unfortunately caught only when redoing said refcounting on top of it [1] ;-/
I'm bisecting it right now, will post when it's done.

[1] with mnt{get,put}_long() variant the breakage is present, but not
immediately noticable.  With (local) rewrite to saner rules it became
visible, but I spent quite a while trying to find the bug in the most
obvious place - i.e. that rewrite.
