Subject[PATCH 5/6] autofs4: avoid taking fs_lock during rcu-walk
->fs_lock protects AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING.  We need to be sure
that once the flag is set, no new references beneath the dentry
are taken. So rcu-walk currently needs to take fs_lock before
checking the flag. This hurts performance.

Change the expiry to a two-stage process.
First set AUTHFS_INF_NO_RCU which forces any path walk into
ref-walk mode, then drop the lock and call synchronize_rcu().
Once that returns we can be sure no rcu-walk is active beneath
the dentry and we can check reference counts again.

Now during an RCU-walk we can test AUTHFS_INF_EXPIRING without
taking the lock as along as we test AUTHFS_INF_NO_RCU too.
If either are set, we must abort the RCU-walk
If neither are set, we know that refcounts will be tested again
after we finish the RCU-walk so we are safe to continue.
