* Some people reports about undefined reference to `sys_umount`
* Since ksys_umount exist on Linux 4.17-rc1, then we gonna use that one.
Rev 2: Use correct int instead of long for ksys_umount

I am repasting here what I posted on the source code originally:
/*
* turns out path_umount backport is completely unneeded
* we copy the trick used on strncpy_from_unsafe_user / strncpy_from_user_nofault
* https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.4.302/source/mm/maccess.c#L184
* basically
*
* mm_segment_t old_fs = get_fs(); // remember original fs segment
* set_fs(USER_DS); // or KERNEL_DS *
* do_whatever_in_userspace();
* set_fs(old_fs); // restore fs segment
*
* * kernel -> user, KERNEL_DS, user -> kernel, USER_DS
*
* so yes, we can try to straight up call a syscall from kernel space
*
* NOTE: on newer kernels you can use force_uaccess_begin + force_uaccess_end
* ref: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10.237/source/mm/maccess.c#L250

path_umount backport now optional — neat trick, werks, what can I say.
Backports? Nah, we’re good.
