autofs4: use look aside list for lookups 



A while ago a patch to resolve a deadlock during directory creation was
merged.  This delayed the hashing of lookup dentrys until the ->mkdir()
(or ->symlink()) operation completed to ensure we always went through
->lookup() instead of also having processes go through ->revalidate() so
our VFS locking remained consistent.

Now we are seeing a couple of side affects of that change in situations
with heavy mount activity.

Two cases have been identified:

1) When a mount request is triggered, due to the delayed hashing, the
   directory created by user space for the mount point doesn't have the
   DCACHE_AUTOFS_PENDING flag set.  In the case of an autofs multi-mount
   where a tree of mount point directories are created this can lead to
   the path walk continuing rather than the dentry being sent to the wait
   queue to wait for request completion.  This is because, if the pending
   flag isn't set, the criteria for deciding this is a mount in progress
   fails to hold, namely that the dentry is not a mount point and has no
   subdirectories.

2) A mount request dentry is initially created negative and unhashed.
   It remains this way until the ->mkdir() callback completes.  Since it
   is unhashed a fresh dentry is used when the user space mount request
   creates the mount point directory.  This leaves the original dentry
   negative and unhashed.  But revalidate has no way to tell the VFS that
   the dentry has changed, other than to force another ->lookup() by
   returning false, which is at best wastefull and at worst not possible.
   This results in an -ENOENT return from the original path walk when in
   fact the mount succeeded.

To resolve this we need to ensure that the same dentry is used in all
calls to ->lookup() during the course of a mount request.  This patch
achieves that by adding the initial dentry to a look aside list and
removes it at ->mkdir() or ->symlink() completion (or when the dentry is
released), since these are the only create operations autofs4 supports.
