autofs4: catatonic_mode vs. notify_daemon race
we need to hold ->wq_mutex while we are forming the packet to send, lest we have autofs4_catatonic_mode() setting wq->name.name to NULL just as autofs4_notify_daemon() decides to memcpy() from it... We do have check for catatonic mode immediately after that (under ->wq_mutex, as it ought to be) and packet won't be actually sent, but it'll be too late for us if we oops on that memcpy() from NULL... Fix is obvious - just extend the area covered by ->wq_mutex over that switch and check whether it's catatonic *before* doing anything else.
