We unhash the dentry (in a subsequent patch) in ->d_revalidate() in order to send mount requests to ->lookup(). But then we can not rely on d_unhased() to give reliable results because it may be called at any time by any code path. The d_unhashed() function is used by __simple_empty() in the path walking callbacks but autofs mount point dentrys should have no directories at all so a list_empty() on d_subdirs should be (and is) sufficient.
