Subject: autofs4: revert - redo lookup in ttfd
From: Ian Kent <raven@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch series enables the use of a single dentry for lookups prior to
the dentry being hashed and so we no longer need to redo the lookup.  This
patch reverts the patch of commit
033790449ba9c4dcf8478a87693d33df625c23b5.
