[PATCH] autofs4: nameidata needs to be up to date for follow_link
In order to be able to trigger a mount using the follow_link inode method the nameidata struct that is passed in needs to have the vfsmount of the autofs trigger not its parent. During a path walk if an autofs trigger is mounted on a dentry, when the follow_link method is called, the nameidata struct contains the vfsmount and mountpoint dentry of the parent mount while the dentry that is passed in is the root of the autofs trigger mount. I believe it is impossible to get the vfsmount of the trigger mount, within the follow_link method, when only the parent vfsmount and the root dentry of the trigger mount are known. This patch updates the nameidata struct on entry to __do_follow_link if it detects that it is out of date. It moves the path_to_nameidata to above __do_follow_link to facilitate calling it from there. The dput_path is moved as well as that seemed sensible. No changes are made to these two functions.
