[PATCH] autofs - use dentry flags to block walks during expire

[Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>]

Somewhere along the way the autofs expire operation has changed to
hold a spin lock over expired dentry selection. The autofs indirect
mount expired dentry selection is complicated and quite lengthy so
it isn't appropriate to hold a spin lock over the operation.

Commit 47be6184 added a might_sleep() to dput() causing a BUG()
about this usage to be issued.

But the spin lock doesn't need to be held over this check, the
autofs dentry info. flags are enough to block walks into dentrys
during the expire.

I've left the direct mount expire as it is (for now) becuase it
is much simpler and quicker than the indirect mount expire and
adding spin lock release and re-aquires would do nothing more
than add overhead.

Fixes: 47be61845c77 ("fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()")
