Summary
The file system that handles updating the mount point might do lookups
during the update, in which case it could find the flag MNT_UNION set on
the mp while mount point is still not updated.  In particular, the
rootvp->v_mount->mnt_vnodecovered is not yet set.

Delay setting MNT_UNION until the mount is performed.

This looks like the correct fix. One other unrelated nit.

Incorrect <tab> rather than <space> between &= and ~(MNT_UPDATE.
