[RFC PATCH 08/11] autofs4 - eliminate d_unhashed in path walk checks

We unhash the dentry (in a subsequent patch) in ->d_revalidate() in
order to send mount requests to ->lookup(). But then we can not rely
on d_unhased() to give reliable results because it may be called at
any time by any code path. The d_unhashed() function is used by
__simple_empty() in the path walking callbacks but autofs mount
point dentrys should have no directories at all so a list_empty()
on d_subdirs should be (and is) sufficient.
