generic/604: Fix for overlayfs

Since v6.3, I noticed that generic/604 does not run on overlayfs
because:

  generic/604 -- upper fs needs to support d_type

This is odd because the base fs I am using (xfs) does support d_type.

The reason is that for overlayfs, this sequence run by this test:

  _scratch_unmount &
  _scratch_mount

Translates to:

  umount $OVL_MNT; umount $BASE_MNT &
  mount $BASE_MNT ...; mount $OVL_MNT ...

Which can end up reordred as:

  umount $OVL_MNT;
  mount $BASE_MNT ...
                  umount $BASE_MNT &
                  mount $OVL_MNT ...

and overlayfs is trying to use a non-existing upper fs.

Use UMOUNT_PROG directly instead of the _scratch_unmount
helper, to avoid unmounting the base fs.

Incidently, the only thing that has changed in overlayfs in v6.3
is idmapped mounts support and the test in question was run without
idmapped mounts enabled, so the cahnge in behavior must be related
to some subtle timing change.
