When reconnecting to automounts at startup an autofs ioctl is used to find the device and inode of existing mounts so they can be used to open a file descriptor of possibly covered mounts. At this time the the caller might not yet "own" the mount so it can trigger calling ->d_automount(). This causes automount to hang when trying to reconnect to direct or offset mount types. Consequently kern_path() can't be used but path_mntpointat() can be.
