This test will occasionaly fail like so:

  --- /tmp/fstests/tests/generic/604.out	2024-02-03 12:08:52.349924277 -0800
  +++ /var/tmp/fstests/generic/604.out.bad	2024-02-05 04:35:55.020000000 -0800

   QA output created by 604
  -Silence is golden
  +mount: /opt: /dev/sda4 already mounted on /opt.
  +       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
  +mount -o usrquota,grpquota,prjquota, /dev/sda4 /opt failed
  +(see /var/tmp/fstests/generic/604.full for details)

As far as I can tell, the cause of this seems to be _scratch_mount
getting forked and exec'd before the backgrounded umount process has a
chance to enter the kernel.  When this occurs, the mount() system call
will return -EBUSY because this isn't an attempt to make a bind mount.
Slow things down slightly by stalling the mount by 10ms.

Sure, I've changed that when I merged it. Thanks for pointing out that.
