Re: [Yaffs] yaffs kill_sb function and umount error

I have also made this change in my yaffs tree. Though the reason I made
it was to support a removable nand device. Without calling
kill_block_super, the MTD block device system wouldn't rmmod cleanly.
I posted here about the change & more details about my situation a few
weeks ago.
