David Howells ea5b778a8b Unexport do_add_mount() and add in follow_automount(), not ->d_automount()
Unexport do_add_mount() and make ->d_automount() return the vfsmount to be
added rather than calling do_add_mount() itself.  follow_automount() will then
do the addition.

This slightly complicates things as ->d_automount() normally wants to add the
new vfsmount to an expiration list and start an expiration timer.  The problem
with that is that the vfsmount will be deleted if it has a refcount of 1 and
the timer will not repeat if the expiration list is empty.

To this end, we require the vfsmount to be returned from d_automount() with a
refcount of (at least) 2.  One of these refs will be dropped unconditionally.
In addition, follow_automount() must get a 3rd ref around the call to
do_add_mount() lest it eat a ref and return an error, leaving the mount we
have open to being expired as we would otherwise have only 1 ref on it.

d_automount() should also add the the vfsmount to the expiration list (by
calling mnt_set_expiry()) and start the expiration timer before returning, if
this mechanism is to be used.  The vfsmount will be unlinked from the
expiration list by follow_automount() if do_add_mount() fails.

This patch also fixes the call to do_add_mount() for AFS to propagate the mount
flags from the parent vfsmount.
