autofs4: don't make expiring dentry negative
Correct the error of making a positive dentry negative after it has been instantiated. The code that makes this error attempts to re-use the dentry from a concurrent expire and mount to resolve a race and the dentry used for the lookup must be negative for mounts to trigger in the required cases. The fact is that the dentry doesn't need to be re-used because all that is needed is to preserve the flag that indicates an expire is still incomplete at the time of the mount request. This change uses the the dentry to check the flag and wait for the expire to complete then discards it instead of attempting to re-use it.
