Reapplied as-is. Looks like Jeff's patch has been merged, commit 8033426e6. Revalidation isn't the only thing not done on the last component using Jeff's user_path_umountat() path walk. It also bypasses the managed dentry code for the last component, which is why it's what I need as well. Encoding umount in the name seems misleading as to what it really does as would encoding unmanaged or similar since that doesn't properly cover it either. I can rename it in a patch to solve my autofs problem, so how about something like user_path_simple_last(), other suggestions anyone?
