[PATCH] autofs4: need to invalidate children on tree mount expire

I've found a case where invalid dentrys in a mount tree, waiting to be
cleaned up by d_invalidate, prevent the expected expire.

In this case dentrys created during a lookup for which a mount fails or has
no entry in the mount map contribute to the d_count of the parent dentry.
These dentrys may not be invalidated prior to comparing the interanl usage
count of valid autofs dentrys against the dentry d_count which makes a
mount tree appear busy so it doesn't expire.
