It had been a while since I had problems with > rt so I could not understand why I could not login :-) Bah! I should have caught this faster. I kept thinking it had to be some missed unlock of the sbi->fs_lock, but it ends up its just the autofs4_lock. Apparently the conversion from using the dcache_lock -> autofs4_lock forgot that this function already grabs the autofs_lock for a small moment, so we end up grabbing the lock, then a moment later grab it again. Splat. This patch should resolve it.
