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 AUTOFS_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 AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING without taking
the lock as along as we test AUTOFS_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.

->fs_lock is still taken in d_manage() to check for a non-trap
directory.  That will be resolved in the next patch.
