Any attempt to look up a pathname that passes though an
autofs4 mount is currently forced out of RCU-walk into
REF-walk.
This can significantly hurt performance of many-thread work
loads on many-core systems, especially if the automounted
filesystem supports RCU-walk but doesn't get to benefit from
it.
So if autofs4_d_manage is called with rcu_walk set, only
fail with -ECHILD if it is necessary to wait longer than
a spinlock.
