autofs: use dentry flags to block walks during expire
commit 7cbdb4a2 upstream. Somewhere along the way the autofs expire operation has changed to hold a spin lock over expired dentry selection. The autofs indirect mount expired dentry selection is complicated and quite lengthy so it isn't appropriate to hold a spin lock over the operation. Commit 47be6184 ("fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()") added a might_sleep() to dput() causing a WARN_ONCE() about this usage to be issued. But the spin lock doesn't need to be held over this check, the autofs dentry info. flags are enough to block walks into dentrys during the expire. I've left the direct mount expire as it is (for now) because it is much simpler and quicker than the indirect mount expire and adding spin lock release and re-aquires would do nothing more than add overhead.
