    follow_automount(): get rid of dead^Wstillborn code · 25e195aa

    1) no instances of ->d_automount() have ever made use of the "return
    ERR_PTR(-EISDIR) if you don't feel like mounting anything" - that's
    a rudiment of plans that got superseded before the thing went into
    the tree.  Despite the comment in follow_automount(), autofs has
    never done that.
    
    2) if there's no ->d_automount() in dentry_operations, filesystems
    should not set DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT in the first place.  None have
    ever done so...
