Force an unmount (in case of an unreachable NFS system). (Requires kernel
2.1.116 or later.)

+Note that this option does not guarantee that umount command does not hang.
+It's strongly recommended to use absolute paths without symlinks to avoid
+unwanted readlink and stat syscalls on unreachable NFS in umount.
