Since we now delay hashing of dentrys until the ->mkdir() call, droping and re-taking the directory mutex within the ->lookup() function when we are being called by user space is not needed. This can lead to a race when other processes are attempting to access the same directory during mount point directory creation. In this case we need to hang onto the mutex to ensure we don't get user processes trying to create a mount request for a newly created dentry after the mount point entry has already been created. This ensures that when we need to check a dentry passed to autofs4_wait(), if it is hashed, it is always the mount point dentry and not a new dentry created by another lookup during directory creation.
