autofs4: fix indirect mount pending expire race
The selection of a dentry for expiration and the setting of the
AUTOFS_INF_EXPIRING flag isn't done atomically which can lead to lookups
walking into an expiring mount.
What happens is that an expire is initiated by the daemon and a dentry is
selected for expire but, since there is no lock held between the selection
and setting of the expiring flag, a process may find the flag clear and
continue walking into the mount tree at the same time the daemon attempts
the expire it.
