Original commit message: This is a bugfix/replacement for commit 051d381259eb57d6074d02a6ba6e90e744f1a29f: During a path walk if an autofs trigger is mounted on a dentry, when the follow_link method is called, the nameidata struct contains the vfsmount and mountpoint dentry of the parent mount while the dentry that is passed in is the root of the autofs trigger mount. I believe it is impossible to get the vfsmount of the trigger mount, within the follow_link method, when only the parent vfsmount and the root dentry of the trigger mount are known. The solution in this commit was to replace the path embedded in the parent's nameidata with the path of the link itself in __do_follow_link(). This is a relatively harmless misuse of the field, but union mounts ran into a bug during follow_link() caused by the nameidata containing the wrong path (we count on it being what it is all other places - the path of the parent). A better solution is to lookup the vfsmount when the mount is triggered, which can be done because binding an autofs file system mount to another location isn't valid (even though we can't actually veto this from the autofs module).
