[PATCH] autofs4: tree race fix

For tree mount maps, a call to chdir or chroot, to a directory above the
moint point directories at a certain time during the expire results in the
expire incorrectly thinking the tree is not busy.  This patch adds a check
to see if the filesystem above the tree mount points is busy and also locks
the filesystem during the tree mount expire to prevent the race.
