Remove the update of i_atime from autofs4 in favour of having VFS update it.
i_atime is never used for expire in autofs4.

Alter the expire semantics that define how "busyness" is determined.
Currently a last_used counter is updated on every revalidate from processes
other than the mount owner process group.
This patch changes that so that an expire candidate is busy only if it has a
reference count greater than the expected minimum, such as when there is an
open file or working directory in use.
This method is the only way that busyness can be established for direct mounts
within the new implementation. For consistency the expire semantic is made
the same for all mounts.
A side effect of the patch is that mounts which remain mounted unessessarily
in the presence of some GUI programs that scan the filesystem should now
expire.

Fix the case where an expire returns busy on a tree mount when it is in fact
not busy. This case was overlooked when the patch to prevent the expiring
away of "scaffolding" directories for tree mounts was applied.
The problem arises when a tree of mounts is a member of a map with other keys.
The current logic will not expire the tree if any other mount in the map is
busy. The solution is to maintain a "minimum" use count for each autofs
dentry and compare this to the actual dentry usage count during expire.

Addresse a problem where stale dentrys stop mounts from happening.
When a mount point directory is pre-created and a non-existent entry within it
is requested a dentry ends up being created within the mount point directory
which stops future mounts. The problem is solved by ignoring negative,
unhashed dentrys in the mount point d_subdirs list.
Additionally the apparent cacheing of -ENOENT returns from requests is
removed. The test on d_time is a tautology and d_time is not initialised and
has an unexpected value. In short it doesn't do what it's meant to.
The cacheing of failed requests to the daemon is important and will be
followed up later.

Change readdir routines to use the cursor based routines in libfs.c. This
removes reliance on old readdir code from 2.4 and should improve efficiency of
readdir in autofs4.

After my lookup_hash patch ->d_revalidate always gets a valid struct nameidata
passed (unless you use lookup_one_len which autofs4 doesn't), so we can switch
it from update_atime to touch_atime. This is a bit of an academic excercise
because autofs has a 1:1 vfsmount superblock relation, but I want to get rid
of update_atime so filesystems authors can't easily screw up per-mountpoint
noatime support.

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.
Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.
At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

For browsable autofs maps, a mount request that arrives at the same time an
expire is happening can fail to perform the needed mount.
This happens becuase the directory exists and so the revalidate succeeds when
we need it to fail so that lookup is called on the same dentry to do the
mount. Instead lookup is called on the next path component which should be
whithin the mount, but the parent isn't mounted.
The solution is to allow the revalidate to continue and perform the mount as
no directory creation (at mount time) is needed for browsable mount entries.

While this is not a solution to bind and move mounts on autofs owned
directories it is necessary to fix the trady error handling.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
