Jeff Mahoney c3724b129b [PATCH] autofs4: fix race in unhashed dentry code
Commit f50b6f8691 introduced a race in
autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release().

autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members
of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list.  The list is
protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since
autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before
removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info
with a NULL dentry.

This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal
from the rehash list.
