When we are creating a container, first we call into graph driver to take
snapshot of image and create root for container-init. Then we write some
files to it and call into graph driver again to create container root
from container-init as base.
Once we have written files to container-init root, we don't unmount it
before taking a snapshot of it. Looks like with XFS it leaves it in such
a state that when we mount the container root, it goes into log recovery
path.

Jul 22 10:24:54 vm2-f22 kernel: XFS (dm-6): Starting recovery (logdev: internal)
Jul 22 10:24:54 vm2-f22 kernel: XFS (dm-6): Ending recovery (logdev: internal)
This should not be required. So let us unmount container-init before use
it as a base for container root and then XFS does not go into this
internal recovery path.
Somebody had raised this issue for ext4 sometime back and proposed the same
change. I had shot it down at that point of time. I think now time has
come for this change.
