There is shared umount code paths that are used by all file systems in
fs/super.c, in the VFS layer, of course.

But again, unless you or some userspace program has explicitly requested a
umount, a umount does not happen just because a disk drive has disappeared.  So
if you are locking up right after a resume, there wouldn't have been any _time_
for you or some userspace program to request an umount.   And certainly the
standard desktop userspace programs (e.g., the GNOME desktop) do not
automagically look for kernel I/O error messages caused by a disk disappearing,
and then umount the file system automagically.
