saner calling conventions for ->d_automount()
Currently the calling conventions for ->d_automount() instances have
an odd wart - returned new mount to be attached is expected to have
refcount 2.
That kludge is intended to make sure that mark_mounts_for_expiry() called
before we get around to attaching that new mount to the tree won't decide
to take it out. finish_automount() drops the extra reference after it's
done with attaching mount to the tree - or drops the reference twice in
case of error. ->d_automount() instances have rather counterintuitive
boilerplate in them.
There's a much simpler approach: have mark_mounts_for_expiry() skip the
mounts that are yet to be mounted. And to hell with grabbing/dropping
those extra references. Makes for simpler correctness analysis, at that...
