    autofs4 - dont clear DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT on rootless mount · f55fb0c2

    The DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag is cleared on mount and set on expire
    for autofs rootless multi-mount dentrys to prevent unnecessary calls
    to ->d_automount().
    
    Since DCACHE_MANAGE_TRANSIT is always set on autofs dentrys ->d_managed()
    is always called so the check can be done in ->d_manage() without the
    need to change the flag. This still avoids unnecessary calls to
    ->d_automount(), adds negligible overhead and eliminates a seriously
    ugly check in the expire code.
