The warning still can be triggered, but seems harder (cost me 1 hour)

I ran following testcase, and triggered the warning in 1 hour:

thread 1:
for ((; ;))
{
mount --bind /cgroup /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
umount /mnt > /dev/null 2>&1
}

tread 2:
for ((; ;))
{
mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /cgroup > /dev/null 2>&1
mkdir /cgroup/0 > /dev/null 2>&1
rmdir /cgroup/0 > /dev/null 2>&1
umount -l /cgroup > /dev/null 2>&1
}

> Another one: does turning the umount in the first thread into umount -l
> affect anything?

For this one, I ran the test for the whole night, but failed to hit the warning.
