Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than
abusing the follow_link() inode operation. The operation is keyed off a new
inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT).
This makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment automount
during pathwalk. It should also remove the need for the kludge code in the
pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics.
A new pathwalk subroutine, follow_automount() is added to handle mountpoints.
It will return -EREMOTE if the S_AUTOMOUNT was set, but no d_automount() op was
supplied, -ELOOP if we've encountered too many symlinks or mountpoints, -EISDIR
if the walk point should be used without mounting and 0 if successful. path
will be updated if an automount took place to point to the mounted filesystem.
I've only changed __follow_mount() to handle call follow_automount(), but it
might be necessary to change follow_mount() too. The latter is only called
from follow_dotdot(), but any automounts on ".." should be pinned whilst we're
using a child of it.
I've also extracted the mount/don't-mount logic from autofs4 and included it
here. It makes the mount go ahead anyway if someone calls open() or creat(),
tries to traverse the directory, tries to chdir/chroot/etc. into the directory,
or sticks a '/' on the end of the pathname. If they do a stat(), however,
they'll only trigger the automount if they didn't also say O_NOFOLLOW.

dynamic_dname() helper function is provided to take care of this.
+ d_automount: called when an automount dentry is to be traversed (optional).
+ This should create a new VFS mount record, mount it on the directory
+ and return the record to the caller. The caller is supplied with a
+ path parameter giving the automount directory to describe the automount
+ target and the parent VFS mount record to provide inheritable mount
+ parameters. NULL should be returned if someone else managed to make
+ the automount first. If the automount failed, then an error code
+ should be returned.
+
+ This function is only used if S_AUTOMOUNT is set on the inode to which
+ the dentry refers.
