[PATCH] autofs4: fix race in unhashed dentry code
Commit f50b6f8691cae2e0064c499dd3ef3f31142987f0 introduced a race in autofs4 between autofs_lookup_unhashed() and autofs_dentry_release(). autofs_dentry_release() ends up clearing the ->dentry and ->inode members of autofs_info before removing it from the rehash list. The list is protected by the rehash lock in both functions, but since autofs_dentry_release() starts tearing the autofs_info struct down before removing it from the list, autofs_lookup_unhashed() can get a autofs_info with a NULL dentry. This patch moves the clearing of ->dentry and ->inode after the removal from the rehash list.
