[PATCH 1/7] autofs4: Save autofs trigger's vfsmount in super block info

[Valerie Aurora <vaurora@redhat.com>]

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>

This is a bugfix/replacement for commit
051d381259eb57d6074d02a6ba6e90e744f1a29f:

    During a path walk if an autofs trigger is mounted on a dentry,
    when the follow_link method is called, the nameidata struct
    contains the vfsmount and mountpoint dentry of the parent mount
    while the dentry that is passed in is the root of the autofs
    trigger mount.  I believe it is impossible to get the vfsmount of
    the trigger mount, within the follow_link method, when only the
    parent vfsmount and the root dentry of the trigger mount are
    known.

The solution in this commit was to replace the path embedded in the
parent's nameidata with the path of the link itself in
__do_follow_link().  This is a relatively harmless misuse of the
field, but union mounts ran into a bug during follow_link() caused by
the nameidata containing the wrong path (we count on it being what it
is all other places - the path of the parent).

A cleaner and easier to understand solution is to save the necessary
vfsmount in the autofs superblock info when it is mounted.  Then we
can easily update the vfsmount in autofs4_follow_link().
