Well, it does, but the test is a sieve, rather than a true test, as there
is no protection against race conditions. It's mostly there to avoid the
high overheard of the umount operation when it's not necessary or
desirable.
A user can come in between the test and the umount request, and autofs
depends on /bin/umount signalling error without harmful side effects.
