struct dentry *mount_nodev(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
	int flags, void *data,
	int (*fill_super)(struct super_block *, void *, int))
{
	<snip>

	error = fill_super(s, data, flags & SB_SILENT ? 1 : 0);
	if (error) {
		deactivate_locked_super(s);
		return ERR_PTR(error);
	}

	<snip>
}

	deactivate_locked_super()
will call
	fs->kill_sb(s)
which calls
	binderfs_kill_super()
which calls
	kill_litter_super()
the latter will destory any remaining dentries and then calls
	generic_shutdown_super()
which calls
	evict_inodes()
which calls
	evict(inode)
which calls the binderfs specific
	binderfs_evict_inode()
and get rid of the rest.

So manually cleaning up is not needed, imho.
