There's at least one leak I can see in expiry.c, BTW - autofs4_expire_direct()
leaks root dentry if you hit
        /* No point expiring a pending mount */
        if (ino->flags & AUTOFS_INF_PENDING) {
                spin_unlock(&sbi->fs_lock);
                return NULL;
        }
in there.  Try to stick dput(root) before that return and see if that's what
it is...
