[PATCH] vfs - fix automount should ignore LOOKUP_FOLLOW

[Ian Kent]

The recent patch by Miklos Szeredi that was meant to restore the original
behavior of not triggering automounts on stat(2) and other symlink following
syscalls also eliminated the unconditional triggering of automounts for
intermediate path components by eliminating the LOOKUP_CONTUNUE flag from
the check in fs/namei.c:follow_automount().

This introduces a regression itself because it alters the original behaviour
which was to unconditionally automount on intermediate path components.
