Subject: [131/262] VFS: Fix the remaining automounter semantics regressions

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>

commit 815d405ceff0d6964683f033e18b9b23a88fba87 upstream.

The concensus seems to be that system calls such as stat() etc should
not trigger an automount.  Neither should the l* versions.

This patch therefore adds a LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT flag to tag those lookups
that _should_ trigger an automount on the last path element.

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@...app.com>
[ Edited to leave out the cases that are already covered by LOOKUP_OPEN,
  LOOKUP_DIRECTORY and LOOKUP_CREATE - all of which also fundamentally
  force automounting for their own reasons   - Linus ]
