I guess, but it's also possible that multi-entry mounts similar to those
generated by the auto.net script need mount point directories created.
The same code is used for all.

I guess that I could check if the fs is autofs4 and only mount the
mounts for directories that exist, as I do in v5. However, people may
have come to rely on this so it would be a regression, for v4 at least.

Thoughts?
