[PATCH v1 09/12] autofs: don't hold ->lookup_lock in get_next_positive_*

[NeilBrown]

From: NeilBrown <neil@xxxxxxxxxx>

get_next_positive_subdir() and get_next_positive_dentry() currently hold
->lookup_lock while walking the d_children list, which a subsequent
patch will add schedule points to.  So this spinlock will be a problem.

The only data structures that a protected by ->lookup_lock are the
  sbi->expiring and sbi->active_list
lists of inodes.  Neither of these are accessed in these functions,
so the lock cannot be needed.
