Actually this code should be executed only if the test process got stuck
in the kernel and in such case I doubt that there is a value in doing
the cleanup as the cleanup code will likely get stuck there as well.

The rationale is that if process that uses particular mount point is
stuck in the kernel the umount() will likely get stuck there as well and
there is no point in doing anything else than rebooting the machine.
