Weird behaviour with cifs in xfstests shutdown tests

I'm seeing some failures running xfstests on cifs when it comes to tests that
do a shutdown of the filesystem, generic/392 for example:
generic/392 [failed, exit status 1]- output mismatch (see /root/xfstests-dev/results//smb3/generic/392.out.bad)

The problem appears to be that the CIFS_MOUNT_SHUTDOWN persists if there's
another cifs mount from the same server present. So in generic/392 it does:
before=`stat "$stat_opt" $testfile`
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "$sync_mode" $testfile | _filter_xfs_io
_scratch_shutdown | tee -a $seqres.full
_scratch_cycle_mount
after=`stat "$stat_opt" $testfile`
which cycles the *scratch* mount, but leaves the test mount still mounted and
then the 'after' stat fails with EIO.
Testing this by hand:
mount //192.168.6.1/scratch /xfstest.scratch/ -o user=shares,pass=...;\
touch /xfstest.scratch/testfile; \
stat /xfstest.scratch/testfile; \
./src/godown /xfstest.scratch/; \
umount /xfstest.scratch/; \
mount //192.168.6.1/scratch /xfstest.scratch/ -o user=shares,pass=...; \
stat /xfstest.scratch/testfile
works, but will fail if I do:
mount //192.168.6.1/test /xfstest.test/ -o user=shares,pass=...;
first.
Interestingly, the two mounts have different device numbers according to stat,
so they would appear to have different superblocks.
