autofs4: allow RCU-walk to walk through autofs4
This series teaches autofs about RCU-walk so that we don't drop straight into REF-walk when we hit an autofs directory, and so that we avoid spinlocks as much as possible when performing an RCU-walk. This is needed so that the benefits of the recent NFS support for RCU-walk are fully available when NFS filesystems are automounted. Patches have been carefully reviewed and tested both with test suites and in production - thanks a lot to Ian Kent for his support there. This patch (of 6): Any attempt to look up a pathname that passes though an autofs4 mount is currently forced out of RCU-walk into REF-walk. This can significantly hurt performance of many-thread work loads on many-core systems, especially if the automounted filesystem supports RCU-walk but doesn't get to benefit from it. So if autofs4_d_manage is called with rcu_walk set, only fail with -ECHILD if it is necessary to wait longer than a spinlock.
