autofs4 - fix get_next_positive_dentry()
The initialization condition in fs/autofs4/expire.c:get_next_positive_dentry()
appears to be incorrect. If prev == NULL I believe that root should be
returned.
Further down, at the current dentry check for it being simple_positive()
it looks like the d_lock for dentry p should be dropped instead of dentry
ret, otherwise when p is assinged to ret we end up with no lock on p and
a lost lock on ret, which leads to a deadlock.
