[PATCH] autofs4: fix infamous "Busy inodes after umount ..." message

If the automount daemon receives a signal which causes it to sumarily
terminate the autofs4 module leaks dentries. The same problem exists with
detached mount requests without the warning.

This patch cleans these dentries at umount.
