Subject: [PATCH] autofs4 - detect invalid direct mount requests

autofs v5 dierct and offset mounts within an autofs filesystem are
triggered by existing autofs triger mounts so the mount point dentry
must be positive. If the mount point dentry is negative then the
trigger doesn't exist so we can return fail immediately.
