It would be nice to document the +2. The +1s (below) may be evident
given that we did a dget above, but still might merit mention.

If we get here, ino is already set to the autofs4_dentry_ino(expired),
so this statement is redundant.

This is okay, since we wait on the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag in
validate_request. That check is done outside the lock, but I doubt
there are issues with not seeing an update since you perform a schedule
there.
