autofs4: fix direct mount pending expire race
For direct and offset type mounts that are covered by another mount we cannot check the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag during a path walk which leads to lookups walking into an expiring mount while it is being expired. For example, for the direct multi-mount map entry with a couple of offsets: /race/mm1 / <server1>:/<path1> /om1 <server2>:/<path2> /om2 <server1>:/<path3> an autofs trigger mount is mounted on /race/mm1 and when accessed it is over mounted and trigger mounts made for /race/mm1/om1 and /race/mm1/om2. So it isn't possible for path walks to see the expiring flag at all and they happily walk into the file system while it is expiring. When expiring these mounts follow_down() must stop at the autofs mount and all processes must block in the ->follow_link() method (except the daemon) until the expire is complete. This is done by decrementing the d_mounted field of the autofs trigger mount root dentry until the expire is completed. In ->follow_link() all processes wait on the expire and the mount following is completed for the daemon until the expire is complete.
