Subject: [PATCH 1/2] autofs - Fix sparse warning: context imbalance in
 autofs4_d_automount() different lock contexts for basic block

From: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@....de>

Sparse complains:
+ fs/autofs4/root.c:409:9: sparse: context imbalance in
'autofs4_d_automount' - different lock contexts for basic block

This was introduced by commit
f55fb0c243 autofs4 - dont clear DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT on rootless mount

The function autofs4_d_automount can be left with the (&sbi->fs_lock)
held if sbi->version <= 4 and simple_empty(dentry) == false so the warning seems valid.

--> Add an spin_unlock in this case before we jump to done

Unfortunately compile tested only.
