autofs4: fix indirect mount pending expire race
The selection of a dentry for expiration and the setting of the AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag isn't done atomically which can lead to lookups walking into an expiring mount. What happens is that an expire is initiated by the daemon and a dentry is selected for expire but, since there is no lock held between the selection and setting of the expiring flag, a process may find the flag clear and continue walking into the mount tree at the same time the daemon attempts the expire it.
