Subject: autofs4: eliminate d_unhashed in path walk checks
From: Ian Kent <raven@xxxxxxxxxx>

We unhash the dentry (in a subsequent patch) in ->d_revalidate() in order
to send mount requests to ->lookup().  But then we can not rely on
d_unhased() to give reliable results because it may be called at any time
by any code path.  The d_unhashed() function is used by __simple_empty()
in the path walking callbacks but autofs mount point dentrys should have
no directories at all so a list_empty() on d_subdirs should be (and is)
sufficient.
