Subject: [PATCH 1/6] autofs4 - correct offset mount expire check

When checking a directory tree in autofs_tree_busy() we can incorrectly
decide that the tree isn't busy. This happens for the case of an active
offset mount as autofs4_follow_mount() follows past the active offset
mount, which has an open file handle used for expires, causing the file
handle not to count toward the busyness check.
