sanitize vfsmount refcounting changes
fix old umount_tree() breakage
autofs4: Merge the remaining dentry ops tables
Unexport do_add_mount() and add in follow_automount(), not ->d_automount()
Allow d_manage() to be used in RCU-walk mode
Remove a further kludge from __do_follow_link()
autofs4: Bump version
autofs4: Add v4 pseudo direct mount support
autofs4: Fix wait validation
autofs4: Clean up autofs4_free_ino()
autofs4: Clean up dentry operations
autofs4: Clean up inode operations
autofs4: Remove unused code
autofs4: Add d_manage() dentry operation
autofs4: Add d_automount() dentry operation
Remove the automount through follow_link() kludge code from pathwalk
CIFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()
NFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()
AFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()
Add an AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT flag to suppress terminal automount
