Subject: 4.9-rc7 known automount/mount namespace interaction issues?

I just tried 4.9-rc7 (next-20161130) and had some issues.
unfortunately its hard to describe for me. basically umount (the
utility) is getting blocked during stat(2) on a autofs mountpoint in a
mount namespace in scenario that worked fine in previous kernels.
