autofs4 - fix expire check
In some cases when an autofs indirect mount is contained in a file system that is marked as shared (such as when systemd does the equivalent of "mount --make-rshared /" early in the boot), mounts stop expiring. When this happens the first expiry check on a mountpoint dentry in autofs_expire_indirect() sees a mountpoint dentry with a higher than minimal reference count. Consequently the dentry is condidered busy and the actual expiry check is never done. This particular check was originally meant as an optimisation to detect a path walk in progress but with the addition of rcu-walk it can be ineffective anyway. Removing the test allows automounts to expire again since the actual expire check doesn't rely on the dentry reference count.
