The hard situation to solve is when we have, eg. file-backed md(4)
devices which we use as a swap device. We can also configure swap-backed
md(4) device and create and mount file system on it.

To solve such complex scenario we need to reimplement vfs_unmountall()
and swapoff_all() to return number of unmounted file system (removed
swap devices) and do something like:

        vfs_unmountall();
        swapoff_all();
        for (;;) {
                n = vfs_unmountall();
                if (n == 0)
                        break;
                n = swapoff_all();
                if (n == 0)
                        break;
        }
