Grr. So I have just read the fusermount umount code and the hack that it uses before there was UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW support in the vm. If I walk this path of lazy unmounts and detaching directories, anyone with a new kernel and an old copy of fusermount and a nfs mounted home directory will be able to exploit the fusermount umount symlink race. Unless we can declare that old fusermount binaries are buggy beyond supporting this patchset as it exists is dead.
