autofs4: Add d_manage() dentry operation

Browse Source 
This patch required a previous patch to add the ->d_automount()
dentry operation.

Add a function to use the newly defined ->d_manage() dentry operation
for blocking during mount and expire.

Whether the VFS calls the dentry operations d_automount() and d_manage()
is controled by the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags. autofs
uses the d_automount() operation to callback to user space to request
mount operations and the d_manage() operation to block walks into mounts
that are under construction or destruction.

In order to prevent these functions from being called unnecessarily the
DMANAGED_* flags are cleared for cases which would cause this. In the
common case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT and DMANAGED_TRANSIT flags are both
set for dentrys waiting to be mounted. The DMANAGED_TRANSIT flag is
cleared upon successful mount request completion and set during expire
runs, both during the dentry expire check, and if selected for expire,
is left set until a subsequent successful mount request completes.

The exception to this is the so-called rootless multi-mount which has
no actual mount at its base. In this case the DMANAGED_AUTOMOUNT flag
is cleared upon successful mount request completion as well and set
again after a successful expire.
