Add --force to podman umount to force the unmounting of the rootfs
podman umount will currently only unmount file system if not other
process is using it, otherwise the umount decrements the container
storage to indicate that the caller is no longer using the mount
point, once the count gets to 0, the file system is actually unmounted.
