Subject: [PATCH 12/18] xstat: Add a dentry op to handle automounting rather
than abusing follow_link() [ver #6]
Add a dentry op (d_automount) to handle automounting directories rather than
abusing the follow_link() inode operation. The operation is keyed off a new
inode flag (S_AUTOMOUNT).
This makes it easier to add an AT_ flag to suppress terminal segment automount
during pathwalk. It should also remove the need for the kludge code in the
pathwalk algorithm to handle directories with follow_link() semantics.
I've only changed __follow_mount() to handle automount points, but it might be
necessary to change follow_mount() too. The latter is only used from
follow_dotdot(), but any automounts on ".." should be pinned whilst we're using
a child of it.
Note that autofs4's use of follow_mount() will need examining if this patch is
committed.

+ This should create a new VFS mount record, mount it on the directory

+ target and the parent VFS mount record to provide inheritable mount
