OK well there a lot of hits reading /proc/mounts and statfs, but still
more that appear to be coming from fstat/open/unlink/rename.

It looks like they are coming from dropping rcu walk along the path
rather than a full restart. So we will have to see where those are
coming from. My stats patch will help with that.

Thanks,
Nick
