There are two cases for which a dentry that has a pending mount request
does not wait for completion. One is via autofs4_revalidate() and the
other via autofs4_follow_link().
In revalidate, after the mount point directory is created, but before
the mount is done, the check in try_to_fill_dentry() can can fail to
send the dentry to the wait queue since the dentry is positive and the
lookup flags may contain only LOOKUP_FOLLOW. Although we don't trigger
a mount for the LOOKUP_FOLLOW flag, if ther's one pending we might as
well wait and use the mounted dentry for the lookup.
In autofs4_follow_link() the dentry is not checked to see if it is
pending so it may fail to call try_to_fill_dentry() and not wait
for mount completion.
A dentry that is pending must always be sent to the wait queue.
