Subject: autofs: fix careless error in recent commit

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>

commit 302ec300ef8a545a7fc7f667e5fd743b091c2eeb upstream.

Commit ecc0c469f277 ("autofs: don't fail mount for transient error") was
meant to replace an 'if' with a 'switch', but instead added the 'switch'
leaving the case in place.
