Oh, I mentioned it in a previous draft of my original mail but it
seems it got lost in rewrites, I don't actually use systemd. Not that
it should matter here though.

Yeah, I have a similar thing happening on shutdown, except that we're
talking about a kernel thread here, so that process is ignored by the
mentionned killing spree as a result, thus leaving that process running.

Manually killing it at that point works, i.e. allows the umounting to
succeed and a proper shutdown to complete.
