Pull automount updates from Al Viro:
 "Automount wart removal

  A bunch of odd boilerplate gone from instances - the reason for
  those was the need to protect the yet-to-be-attched mount from
  mark_mounts_for_expiry() deciding to take it out.

  But that's easy to detect and take care of in mark_mounts_for_expiry()
  itself; no need to have every instance simulate mount being busy by
  grabbing an extra reference to it, with finish_automount() undoing
  that once it attaches that mount.

  Should've done it that way from the very beginning... This is a
  flagday change, thankfully there are very few instances.

  vfs_submount() is gone - its sole remaining user (trace_automount)
  had been switched to saner primitives"

* tag 'pull-automount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  kill vfs_submount()
  saner calling conventions for ->d_automount()
