And I remebered that we already solved this by adding tst_umount
function to the shell library. The systemd-udev is not first daemon to
probe newly mounted filesystem, we used to have this kind of problems
with gvfsd-trash as well.

So fixing this should be as easy as replacing the umount with tst_umount
function.
