Force unmount in case of an unreachable NFS system.

Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore. A system reboot would be expected in near future if you're going to use this option for network filesystem or local filesystem with submounts.  The recommended use-case for umount -l is to prevent hangs on shutdown due to an unreachable network share where a normal umount  will hang due to a downed server or a network partition. Remounts of the share will not be possible.
