[PATCH] autofs4: panic after mount fail

Resolve the panic on failed mount of an autofs filesystem originally
reported by Mao Bibo.

It addresses two issues that happen after the mount fail.  The first a NULL
pointer reference to a field (pipe) in the autofs superblock info structure
and second the lack of super block cleanup by the autofs and autofs4
modules.
