Is the question "Why clears kn_info?"

kn_info is created during mount time and has different contents
under "info" directory with CDP enabled or disabled by mount parameter "cdp".

umount needs to remove kn_info so that it's ready to be created next time
during mount time. So user can do CAT mount, check "info", umount, and then
CDP mount, check "info". The user will see different contents in two "info"
checks.

Thanks.
